In an effort to address this need, the Education Department at the College of Charleston has developed a one semester, three hour course for undergraduate students majoring in education. This is a required course for any student wishing to become either an elementary, early childhood, special education, or secondary teacher. It was developed with input from teachers and computer consultants in the school districts which are near the College of Charleston and in which students are placed for practicum experiences, and on recommendations of writers and researchers in educational computing (Gibhardt-Seele, 1985; Gutphin, 1987; Harper and Stewart, 1986; Hoffman, 1983; Kinzer, Sherwood and Bransford, 1986; National Science Board Commission on Precollege Education in Mathematics, Science, and Technology, 1983; Radin, Lee & Marrapodi, 1985; Taylor, 1980). The catalogue description of the course states that it is an introductory course designed to instruct preservice teachers in the integration of microcomputers into instruction. The course involves both awareness and functional levels of educational computing. The Computers for Teachers course is one of four core courses and it is recommended that students in the teacher education programs take it early in their program of study. The only prerequisite for the course is the Introduction to Education course. The goal of the educational computing course is for future teachers to be able to use microcomputers as tools for learning and teaching and to develop confidence in their abilities to use microcomputers with their own students. Because the course is introductory, concepts and skills in computing are enhanced and further developed in the more advanced content and procedures courses such as Teaching of Reading, Teaching of Mathematics, and Procedures in Science and Social Studies (Polis, 1985; Lehman, 1986). The course evolves and changes each semester that it is taught because of the improvements and changes in equipment and software. Content changes are based on new developments in technology and acquisition of new hardware and software. For example, students in the course during the current semester will be taught to use the Apple GS and a modem where this was not possible previously. An example of how the course is changing to represent changes and improvements in software is thatinstruction in Logo initially used Terrapin Logo, then Apple Logo, and currently LogoWriter. It is anticipated that the course will continue to","PeriodicalId":299906,"journal":{"name":"ACM Sigcue Outlook","volume":"54 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1988-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128135086","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the days before word processing, writers endured the physical burdens of typing on stiff typewriter keyboards and pushing pencil points. Computer tools such as word processors, electronic mail, and desk top publishing programs dramatically enhanced the physical aspects of writing, and some observers speculated that electronic tools would transform the entire act of writing. Current academic literature suggests that computer tools may indeed affect the writing process as a whole, but that the effect is subtle and difficult to separate from other variables. Researchers have found that young writers are highly enthusiastic about word processors, and that they edit their writing more carefully with word processors than with traditional writing tools. Some teachers and researchers claim that word processing enhances fluency and, indirectly, young writers' design decisions. However, these observations require more extensive investigation in order to qualify as findings. This article focuses on the combination of word processing tools with a process-oriented approach to the teaching of writing, and assumes that these are minimum requirements for a preservice course. However, other computer writing tools could be integrated with this approach. Researchers have described the enthusiastic response of young writers to electronic mail and to electronic publishing programs (Levin, Riel, Miyake, & Cohen, in press; Levin, 1983; Riel, 1983). In order to maximize the value of these computer tools for classroom use, teachers need to understand the cognitive and social aspects of writing in classrooms, as well as the technical requirements of the computer programs they choose.","PeriodicalId":299906,"journal":{"name":"ACM Sigcue Outlook","volume":"23 2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1988-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134457775","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the last few years the ubiquitous presence of computers throughout all levels of the curriculum and the passing of federal laws improving the education of the disabled have created a need for schools of education to include the study of this topic in the preservice program. Specifically Public Law 94-142 1 provides that disabled students are educated in the most normalized setting possible, with access to all appropriate services and resources provided to non-disabled children. As a result of this law many school districts have increased the amount of mainstreaming of handicapped students. Teachers in conventional classrooms will be teaching increasingly more disabled students and thus will need to be prepared to offer them the same computing resources as their other children. To do this well they need to be exposed to the use of adaptive equipment, software and other specialized technology. The preservice program is an appropriate place to provide this training. Computers in the classroom hold great promise for adding to the choices, participation and productivity of disabled students. Computers also have the potential to become the greatest new handicap disabled students will have to face. There are many programs enabling blind students to process text using voice synthesis, that teach hearing impaired students to move their vocal mechanisms and produce speech, and programs to allow physically handicapped students to write, speak and control devices in their environments. These programs, and other assistive devices, perform a great service to disabled students. Computers can also present imposing barriers to disabled students. From automatic bank tellers to public telephones we see equipment designed by people who are not sensitive to the needs of the handicapped. As these devices become more widespread a growing potential exists for the exclusion of the disabled population in the daily activities that the non-handicapped take for granted. Educators must play an important role in preparing disabled students to overcome such barriers, preparing the next generation of designers to be aware of the needs of the disabled, and communicating the problems of the disabled to all users of todays technology innovations. This paper will review some of the most positive technological applications for disabled students as well","PeriodicalId":299906,"journal":{"name":"ACM Sigcue Outlook","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1988-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115188536","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In fact, it is the place of library science in this trio that is likely to b e at the heart of the confusion. Information science, defined as \". . .an interdisciplinar y science that investigates the properties and behavior of information, the forces tha t govern the flow and use of information, and the techniques. . .of processing information for optimal storage, retrieval, and dissemination,\" 1 clearly relates to computing. But , where does library science fit in? Librarians are aware that the nature and functio n of their work may easily be misunderstood or, even worse, overlooked. Many peopl e think that library science consists of stamping books in and out of buildings an d insuring that silence reigns throughout. Library science, however, really involves th e systematic accumulation and analysis of data in order to forecast, among other things , what materials to purchase for a particular information agency, how best to organiz e them for efficient retrieval and disseminate them effectively, and how to manag e operations. Since much of the most essential work of the library scientist i s performed out of sight of the public that profits from it, non—librarians may fail t o see how all this relates to information science and computing. However, it is easy t o see that the acquisition, cataloging and circulation of informational material s contribute to .the flow of information (information science) and, insofar as thes e processes involve computers, they relate to computing, too. One of my primary concerns as a teacher of library science-most particularly, of the development of collections and their organization for retrieval-is to teac h students how to create, transform and apply bibliographic information, i .e. , information about information. The fundamental concepts are embodied in a cours e in library cataloging. Traditionally, the end product of such a course was the familiar 3x5 inch catalo g card. Originally, the card was hand—written. Melville Dewey's school of Library Economy is said to have included the teaching of \"library hand,\" the appropriat e script in which to record data describing materials. Later, students typed th e information (e .g ., in 1973, I did so as part of the coursework for my master's degree).

What an unfriendly name for the everyday task of findin g published articles that contain the information you want. This article is an overview of the use of computers to search bibliographic databases ; these are databases tha t refer to publications, but do not contain text or data. They identify and describe th e publication through index terms, keywords, citations and, usually, abstracts. Bibliographic searching is the retrieving of information from these databases wit h great flexibility-by subject, by author, by journal name, or by any of a number o f \"handles. \" Online computer information retrieval became commercially available less than 1 5 years ago. It enhanced the power, ease and flexibility of searching, and broadene d access. People could now search many more databases than were available in thei r library. Computer retrieval systems have improved steadily, but intermediaries generally hav e been required to conduct a search. In the last few years there have been advance s that make it easier for anyone to search or to learn searching. The providers of th e information have developed specific programs to introduce bibliographic informatio n retrieval to the academic community. This article discusses how bibliographic information retrieval can help teacher an d student, and how the computer helps to conduct the search, to use search results, an d even to teach searching. Programs for bringing bibliographic information retrieval int o the classroom are reviewed. Scholars routinely use published literature in their research. They use bibliographic collections as access tools to specific literature with specific content. The ability t o search bibliographic databases by computer provides a means to answer question s about subjects and about other kinds of questions as well-who is doing what, wha t organizations are doing it, where the funding comes from, how active is this field , what conferences are held, and so on. The successful experience with computer information retrieval from publicly availabl e databases has lead to the development of two other types of bibliographic databases (1). The first is online public access catalogs, which are catalogs of the locall y available monographic literature, and which are now available in many universit y libraries. Personal computers support the second type, individual databases-guide s to personal reprint collections.","PeriodicalId":299906,"journal":{"name":"ACM Sigcue Outlook","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1987-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129862661","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
