Frick, Theodore W.; And Others
The document is part of the final report on Project STEEL (Special Teacher Education and Evaluation Laboratory) intended to extend the utilization of technology in the training of preservice special education teachers. This volume focuses on the second of four project objectives, the development of a special education teacher computer literacy training package. The training program is a multi-media (lecture/print/transparency material) flexible curriculum in eight modules stressing current microcomputer technology and potential classroom applications. The major portion of the document consists of the training curriculum with modules on: introduction to microcomputers (history of computers and structure and operation); software applications (examples of uses in math, reading, spelling, and readability determination); introduction to word processing (educational and classroom uses of word processing); evaluation of educational software; introduction to authoring systems; BASIC programming; resource materials; and conclusions regarding microcomputer applications in special education. Also included are results of course evaluations during the three years of the course development and modification. (DB)
