Designed to help Wisconsin educators use computers effectively in the instructional environment, this guide emphasizes planning at the district and building levels for the integration of computer literacy competencies into various disciplines in the K-12 curriculum and the teaching of computer science as an elective at the secondary level. The manual is divided into eight major sections: (1) Perspectives (background and premise of the guide); (2) Model for Using Computers in Education (computers in both instruction and administration); (3) District Plan (planning process, philosophy and rationale, curriculum integration, facilities/resources, and budget considerations); (4) Implementing the District Program (staff development and software/hardware selection, acquisition, and management); (5) Evaluating the District Program (overview and evaluation checklist); (6) Modifying the District Plan and Program (overview, planning for change, analyzing/interpreting program evaluations, setting priorities, implementing change, and evaluating impact); (7) Computer Science (overview, definition, goals, scope and sequence); and (8) Resources (overview, curriculum planning, inservice resources, software evaluation resources, computer-related journals, computer software and instructional television packages, audiovisual materials, computer science, keyboarding, and computer equity). Five appendixes provide a summary of equity issues, a discussion of factors to be considered in teaching keyboarding, a hardware evaluation worksheet, program modification worksheets, and school district standards from the Wisconsin Statutes that affect computers in education.
