This guide was developed in an Illinois program to help home economics teachers integrate the use of computers and program-related software into existing programs. After students are taught the basic computer skills outlined in the beginning of the guide, 50 learning activities can be used as an integral part of the instructional program. (One or more Apple II-series computers are needed.) Tutorial, drill, simulation, problem solving, and educational games are suggested methods of instruction. Each learning activity contains information on the following topics: the software, the hardware, the lesson, introducing the computer activity, preparing for the computer, the computer activity, after the computer, additional suggested activities, and handouts. Some of the topics covered are diets, the microwave oven, planning nutritious meals, the food processor, cooking and baking, child care, fashion careers, clothing construction, and career development. A bibliography listing title, author, publisher, address, and price of home economics-related software is included. (KC)
