Students: Where the Action Is! Illinois Series on Educational Applications of Computers. Number 3.
Hicks, Bruce; And Others
This report describes student participation in computer applications through classroom use and through student-consultants. Three types of outcomes of computer use are explained in terms of "student activity." The first activity, "computer literacy," concerns the impact of computers in society, how computers affect each citizen, what must be known to operate computers, and how to prevent computer abuse. "Computer language acquisition," the second activity, refers to the use of BASIC and the computer facility itself by students and teachers. The last activity, "a feeling of community," is the sharing of computer resources by all students and by all teachers. In conclusion, the various roles of maxicalculators (e.g., HP 9830 and Wang 2200) versus time-sharing, interactive terminals in computers are discussed. (DAG)
