Computers in the Classroom: Experiences Teaching with Flexible Tools. Teachers Writing to Teachers Series.
Thompson, Charles, Ed.; Vaughan, Larry, Ed.
First-hand accounts of what teachers have done with students and computers in their classrooms, how students have responded, and what and how teachers have learned from these experiences are discussed in the 19 articles in this book. The articles are presented under these headings: (1) teaching writing with word processors; (2) learning to inquire through database programs (considering integrating database programs across the curriculum databases throughout and beyond a junior high school, and IMMIGRANT-a social studies simulation for AppleWorks); (3) other applications that make room for teachers (addressing microcomputer-based laboratories, filling a gap in reading comprehension programs, and musical computing); and (4) learning to program and programming to learn (discussing 3 years with Logo in a third-grade classroom, mathematics classroom problem-solving with notebook computers, enriching mathematics with computer activities, selecting a writing adventure, and other areas). Summaries of the articles are provided in an introduction. (JN)
