Computers have not revolutionized social studies curricula because so few teachers use them. But research does indicate that computers are flexible instructional tools that can assist in the development of attitudes, intellectual motivation, and inquiry skills. Social studies educators need to consider expanded computer use in their classrooms because computers assist in the preparation of students for effective participation in society. Teachers must understand how technology affects instruction, learning, and classroom environments, along with the types of effective instructional strategies that can be used to achieve specific goals. Educators should acquire the knowledge and experience needed to use computers by reviewing research relating to computer use in teaching and to instructional strategies. Information on research concerning the impact of computers on students, how computers change the way teachers' work, computers' effect on the training process, and computers' influence on the social studies curriculum is included. Necessary teacher competencies and appropriate instructional uses are explored through an analysis of teacher utility programs, databases, data analysis programs, and simulations. A 76-item bibliography concludes the document. (JHP)

The purpose of this book is to help teachers feel at ease with microcomputers so that they will begin to think of computers as tools that they themselves might use. There are four chapters. The first chapter provides basic information to help a user understand the computer. Discussed are how the computer is put together and how it works. To help teachers generate ideas about how this new educational aid might be useful in terms of their own teaching objectives, the second chapter describes why and how other educators are using the computer. Chapter 3 is an introduction to software evaluation, i.e., how computer programs that are available for use in the classroom can be judged. Criteria are presented. It is suggested that teachers using computer-assisted instruction should have a feel for some of the broader issues related to computers in education, as well as practical knowledge. The purpose of the fourth chapter, which deals with social and educational issues and directions, is to provide a perspective about these broader issues and a context into which teachers might place their own activities. Most of the book's readings provide a bibliography of references and further resources. In addition, a list of resources available through the ERIC system is provided. (RM)

Purpose. The increase in the use of computer-based instruction in education and the proliferation of middle schools in the state of Missouri occurred concurrently in the 1980's. Computer-based instruction was viewed as a new learning tool, which could facilitate a variety of new strategies for educators to employ in the classroom. The formation of middle level education was seen as an attempt to establish meaningful learning for the segment of schooling that encompasses early adolescence at the stage of life between the ages of ten and fifteen (National Middle School Association, 1995). The symbiotic relationship and development of these two educational entities commenced in the 1980's and continues at the moment. The purpose of the study was to determine the frequency and the nature of applications of computer-based instruction in middle school social studies classrooms in Missouri. Procedures. A study questionnaire was mailed to the one hundred and twenty middle school social studies teachers selected by a random sampling procedure from the one thousand and sixty-eight middle school social studies teachers in the state of Missouri (DESE, 1998). The researcher conducted field observations and interviews of social studies teachers and students enrolled in social studies classes. Five teachers indicating the regular use of at least four computer-based instructional strategies in their middle school social studies classrooms were chosen by the researcher for the purpose of observing and interviewing. The data, derived from the study questionnaire, was analyzed by the use of the statistical analytical procedure of chi-square. The statistical program, SPSS$\sp{\copyright}, $ was used to analyze the data pertaining to the null hypothesis. Conclusions. (1) Of the middle school social studies teachers in Missouri, 73.5% indicated the use of at least one form of computer-based instructional strategy on a regular basis. The computer-based instructional strategies listed in the study were drill and practice, simulation, games, database, problem solving, Internet, developing class web pages, graphics, spreadsheets, and tutorials. (2) Of the ten computer-based instructional strategies cited above, middle school social studies classes use the Internet the greatest percentage (53.9%) of the classroom instructional time. (3) There is no statistically significant relationship between the frequency of use of computer-based instruction, mentioned above, in Missouri middle school social studies classes and each of the following demographic variables: years of teaching experience, number of daily preparation periods, size of middle school (student population), school setting (rural, suburban, urban, and outstate urban), and teacher's utilization of computer technology outside of school setting. (4) The primary reason for social studies teachers taking the initiative to incorporate computer-based instruction in middle school social studies classrooms in Missouri is the teachers following the initiative set forth by their school district or school administrative board. (5) The utilization of computer-based instruction by middle school social studies teachers in Missouri does change the classroom learning environment in a positive direction. One reason for this change in classroom learning environment is that student enthusiasm increases when computer-based instructional strategies are used on a regular basis in the social studies classroom.

Computer-Based Technology for Special and Multicultural Education is a comprehensive textbook for integrating computer technology into the classroom. Experienced contributors discuss the growing role of technology in teaching students with exceptional learning needs. Unlike the competition, this textbook addresses classroom technology through multiple lenses: special and multicultural education. Special education teacher candidates, at all levels, will benefit from this in-depth coverage of history, terminology, and research in computer based technology. This background will help readers determine how and when to use technology for the most effective educational experience. Topics include using the combination of computer hardware and specific software programs to deliver evidence-based teaching strategies as supplemental instruction. Computer-Based Technology breaks down teaching methods by addressing the most critical academic areas: reading, writing, mathematics, S.T.E.M., and social studies. Authors acknowledge the differences in each academic area, and how to best incorporate technology into each of these classrooms. Authors use the term "exceptional learners" throughout the text, which describes not only special education students, but also the experience of students with culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds. These students are faced with unique circumstances and challenges that affect their educational processes. Readers will learn how to use technology to enhance culturally relevant pedagogy, cooperative learning strategies, and the experience of English language learners. Key features: The latest recommendations for websites, mobile applications, and resources for classroom technologyStrategic plans for the most effective use of technology in the classroomIn-depth discussions of special education and multicultural learnersClassroom-specific approaches for technology in reading, writing, mathematics, S.T.E.M. and social studies

“This stellar book extends teachers’ thinking well beyond 'book spaces' and into 'digital spaces' by offering theorized approaches to analyzing children’s literature across media, and careful descriptions of effective learning activities that are rich in detail and practical advice. This book (and its digital spaces) is an indispensable guide to engaging with children’s literature and new digital media.” Michele Knobel, Montclair State University, USA. “The book overall is exciting, informative and practical, outlining important theoretical perspectives and ideas while also providing much wisdom and advice to teachers about how to transform their literary programs.” Frances Christie, Emeritus Professor of Language andLiteracy Education, University of Melbourne and HonoraryProfessor of Education, University of Sydney, Australia. This book connects classroom teaching of children’s literature with the digital age. It celebrates the charm of children’s literature and its role in literacy development, as well as the appeal of information and communications technology (ICT) to students and its capacity to enrich students’ learning and enjoyment of literary texts. The authors outline the ways in which children’s literature is developing new dimensions, for example: The re-publication of children’s books on CD ROM and the world wide web Web resources for working with literary texts, including e-mail discussion groups Children’s participation in the collaborative construction of online narratives The book provides practical guidance for teachers who areinexperienced with ICT. It describes and discussesimplementation of activities that extend traditional approaches toliterary texts and take advantage of available technology.

This book is intended for use by college students majoring in education, or by teachers seeking to enhance their knowledge of the digital revolution. It focuses on the enduring elements of technology tools in the social studies curriculum. Exemplary social studies software is introduced; however, the coverage of database tools and hypermedia is deliberately generic. Because of the growing importance of the Internet to educators, one of the closing chapters is devoted to the topic.
