Describes TERRI, a computer-assisted simulation lesson in English imperatives for students of English as a foreign language. The program sets a goal (in terms of object locations) for the student who then orders TERRI to relocate individual objects. The program checks the student's grammar and vocabulary, commenting on errors. (SED)

Presents sequential assignments that require group cooperation and allow technical communication students to perceive the connection between self and subject as they become involved in various discourse communities rather than acting out simulated case studies. (HTH)

Describes instructional use of a microcomputer version of the WORLD2 global population-ecology simulation. Reactions of students and instructors are discussed and a WORLD2 simulation assignment is appended. The BASIC version used by the author runs on Apple II, DOS 3.3, with 80 column board. (MBR)

Shows how a university utility building ("boiler house") is used in a chemical engineering course for computer simulations, mathematical modeling and process problem exercises. Student projects involving the facility are also discussed. (JN)

Discusses techniques and learning activities to be used in the English as a second language classroom. These include fictionary, phonework, a group project in writing using simulation, student surveys, and planning a party. (SED)

Discusses the PLATO computer educational network, examples of various computer simulation modules, and educational benefits and problems of teaching by computer. (MLH)

Suggested ways of introducing "realism" into the classroom by exposing students to the problems, jargon, and forms used by a variety of businesses using the "in-basket" on simulated projects. (HD)

Describes five activities designed to help students recognize and appreciate the factors directly involved in the process of fossilization. (JR)

Describes an instructional unit designed to increase student awareness of environmental pollution and the difficulties involved in correcting the situation. Seventh grade science students collected local water samples, tested them, and reported significant pollution to state and federal authorities. Simulation game Dirty Water'' increased student…

Advocates the multimedia field study as a valuable supplement to actual field work in earth science. The simulated excursion utilizes a variety of media, and can effectively acquaint students with geological features which they may not be able to visit. An example of a multimedia field study package is provided. (JR)

The problem today is not preparation of teaching methods and materials, but the intelligent selection'' of effective methods and appropriate materials for each learning situation. (Editor)
