Microcomputer Utilization for Library/Media Center Instruction, K-12.
Montgomery County Public Schools, Rockville, MD.
Designed to assist media specialists in planning computer-related library instruction for students, this guide emphasizes the use of the computer as a teaching tool and contains activities which teach students how to use the computer to store, access, and manipulate data. A scope and sequence chart indicates the skills required to meet 10 information retrieval and media production objectives and the appropriate grade levels for addressing these skills, which include the use of computer hardware and software. The 11 activities that are presented range from a social studies packet for the third grade which involves use of print reference materials to locate information about Ghana and word processing to write and edit a report, to research methods and tools--including online computer searching--to access information for a research paper in psychology for students in grades 10-12. For each activity, information is given for curriculum correlation, grade level(s), type of activity objectives, materials/equipment needed, steps for implementation, and management strategies. Guidelines on software copyright are presented for students and school personnel as well as a sample software policy statement and administrative copyright regulations for the Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS). A glossary of computer terms and a list of MCPS resources complete the document. (JB)
