Welcome to the World of Computers. Part 2.
Education Service Center Region 20, San Antonio, TX.
A continuation of an earlier manual, this guide was written to help adult education teachers and their students to go beyond the information of part 1 and learn more about the uses of computers. Although this manual is directed more toward teachers and administrators than toward students, activities for students are provided. As in part 1, some of the manual has been written so that instruction can be given with or without a computer; it can be used in a computer literacy class or as part of a class in some other area, such as English or mathematics. This manual is organized in six sections. The first five sections cover the following topics: computer review; software applications (word processing, database, spreadsheets, and BASIC programming); evaluation of software (including an annotated resource guide and a software buyer's guide), graphics, and computer-assisted instruction. Each section contains information (including reprints of materials from a variety of sources), learning activities for students, and test items. Materials are illustrated with line drawings. The final section contains reprints of brief articles about computer literacy. (KC)
