Exploratory Computer Literacy Curriculum Guide, Grades 7-8. Resource Unit.
Hawaii State Dept. of Education, Honolulu. Office of Instructional Services.
This resource unit, an addendum to The Exploratory Computer Literacy Curriculum Guide, Grades 7-8, is designed to provide teachers with guidelines and classroom computer activities for integrating computer literacy into the curriculum. An overview of the guide is given in the introduction, which notes that the materials reflect the teacher-developers' own environment variables such as school size, student characteristics, accessibility to microcomputers, and teaching style. A section on classroom management offers suggestions for effective curriculum implementation and addresses the operation of the computer laboratory, classroom demonstrations, use of the computers, diskette management, and copyright laws concerning microcomputer software. A broader perspective on implementation within the total school setting is provided in a section on integrating the computer literacy program into the curriculum, which addresses such topics as administrative support, a school computer coordinator, schoolwide planning and cooperation, and resources and faculty workshops. Five models are proposed as alternatives for delivering computer literacy instruction in the secondary schools. Sample activities are provided for the language arts, mathematics, science, and social studies, each of which includes course content objectives and guidelines in the following categories: subject, student expectations, instructional mode, prerequisites, classroom management, materials, activity time, teacher preparation, and sequence of activities. Resources include lists of recommended software and additional teaching aids. (DJR)
