Described is an approach to computational matrix algebra that takes advantage of a high quality, low cost microcomputer software package. The examples and applications discussed focus on matrix multiplication. (Author/CW)

Described is an investigation into how the use of LOGO programing language affects children's basic knowledge of an angle. Findings indicate that children make erroneous adjustments to their conceptual knowledge of angle to accommodate the results of acquired procedural interaction with the computer. (Author/CW)

Describes how BreadNet (a national computer network of English teachers) has come to dominate the routine of a high school class. Notes that BreadNet gives students new motivation to write, inquire, and learn. Describes classroom electronic writing exchanges and an electronic writers' workshop which posted essays on BreadNet. (RS)

Argues that the computer has many advantages over traditional technologies in learning, thinking, and problem solving. Argues that if reading and writing are taught as thinking processes akin to problem solving, then skills and experiences acquired on the computer should transfer well, with guidance, to print literacy. (RS)

Education will experience future transformations in the face of changing societal and workplace needs. The technology-intensive paradigm for education will completely reshape today's classrooms and schools. (SI)

This article presents a technique that builds linear equations to approximate Fry's readability graph. A BASIC program building the linear equations and providing the grade levels is provided. (Author/YP)

Describes the development of an educational decision support system (EDSS) in Israeli schools. The Israeli educational system is described, the integration of computers into school administration is discussed, the use of management information systems (MIS) is explained, and a structural framework for the implementation of an EDSS is presented.…

Draws from site visits to 50 2-year colleges to identify computer applications in instruction, services to disabled students, testing, and distance education. Discusses areas in which computer technology has not been used to its full potential. (DMM)

Discusses the use of graphing calculators for polar and parametric equations. Presents eight lines of the program for the graph of a parametric equation and 11 lines of the program for a graph of a polar equation. Illustrates the application of the programs for planetary motion and free-fall motion. (YP)

An Apple II computer was placed in a university laboratory school classroom so that children's natural interaction with a computer could be observed. Detailed observational logs were kept for 39 interactions. Results indicated that computer play is an initial step in computer literacy. (RH)

A computer program, DIAL-LOG, was developed to assist users of DIAL-R, a widely used screening test, in the scoring of young children's performance. The program generates screening reports, suggests appropriate learning objectives and activities, and builds a file of results for up to 200 children at four age levels. (RH)

Discusses the use of computer graphics in the teaching of geometry. Describes five types of geometry: Euclidean geometry, transformation geometry, coordinate geometry, three-dimensional geometry, and geometry of convex sets. (YP)

Describes how a computerized text analysis program can help students discover error patterns in their writing, and notes how students' responses to analyses can reduce errors and improve their writing. (MM)

A description of how image database technology was used to develop two prototypes for academic and administrative applications at Yale University, one using a video data base integration and the other using document-scanning data base technology, is presented. Technical underpinnings for the creation of data bases are described. (Author/MLW)

Reviews SEEN, a computer tutorial program which guides students as they first define and then systematically develop their interpretative skills. Finds it to be one of the most useful tools available for teaching literature. (MG)
