Roblyer, M. D., Ed.
Current issues in educational uses for microcomputers are addressed in this collection of 139 abstracts of papers in which computer literacy and practical applications dominate. Topics discussed include factors related to computer use in the classroom, e.g., computer lab utilization; teaching geometry, science, math, and English via microcomputers; applications of microcomputers in vocational or special education; and teaching online bibliographics searching. Several papers examine such innovative computer activities as robotics, interactive video, videodiscs, authoring systems, and artificial intelligence. Additional papers discuss the management of computer resources in K-12 and postsecondary settings, problems caused by the increased use of technology in educational systems, computer graphics, computer programming, networking, computer literacy for faculty and staff, software evaluation, and instructional design. Each abstract contains the name and address of the person to contact if more information is needed. An alphabetical index of presentors is appended. (JB)
