Developed by the Michigan State Board of Education, this document begins with brief discussions of a philosophy for the integration of computers into all content areas and district planning for computer use in schools. Essential goals and objectives for computer education are then outlined in the following areas: (1) computing and its evolving role in a technological society, including the historical development of the computer, the role and impact of computers in society, ethical and social issues raised by increased use of computers, and future trends; (2) computing fundamentals, including understanding of the basic operations, terminology, and parts of computer systems as well as the ability to independently operate a system; (3) computer applications, including familiarity with word processing, database management, spreadsheets, graphics, communications, and programming; and (4) computer-enhanced problem solving. A resource for district planning and a list of educational computer resources are appended. (MES)
