The 30 conference papers in this collection are presented in 6 categories. Five overviews discuss innovative uses of computers in education (Dorothy K. Deringer); microcomputers in instructional research (Alan M. Lesgold); microcomputers in the schools (Mitchell Batoff, Gary G. Bitter); and the courseware crisis (Barbara R. Sadowski). Research and projects described focus on basic skills through microcomputers (Kay Gilliland); data acquisition and handling using microcomputers (Pauline Fortier Briggs); learning logic and geometry with microcomputers (Teri Hoch Perl and Ann M. Piestrup); Young People's LOGO Association (James H. Muller); teacher training for using microcomputers in science education (Malcolm Wells and Gary G. Bitter); and using Apple microcomputers with young handicapped children (Laura F. Meyers and Terri Rosegrant). Discussions of administrative uses focus on administrators and computers (James P. Boyle); administrative applications (Patrick J. Carr); equipment acquisition (Tom Keller); microcomputers in school psychology (Marley J. Watkins); microcomputers in the classroom and at home (Pat Kuhn); teacher training workshops (John Losse and Rita Richards); and parental involvement (Greg Wojtulewicz). Papers on computer assisted instruction (CAI) describe using microcomputers in chemistry and physics instruction (David Byrum); creating CAI materials with Apple Pilot (Ruth A. Camuse); designing courseware in K-8 mathematics (James H. Wiebe); making software interesting (Jeffrey and Karen Raynor); and mathematical problem solving with microcomputers (J. F. Weaver). Computer literacy is discussed as content (Janis Rosenblum and Shirley Frye); a computer literacy project is described (Bruce Eldredge); and the importance of computers to education is considered. Presentations on programming include an outline of BASIC (Marilyn Sue Ford); good programming techniques (Homer Baker and Raymond Preston); tips for programming (Richard Dixon); and a programming project for high school students (Robert Zenor). A glossary and listing of microcomputer journals complete the proceedings. (ESR)
