- Summary:
-
This booklet is designed to supplement a short course on microcomputers for parents and their middle school children. The course activities are designed to increase the computer literacy of the participants and also to provide an opportunity for parents and children to spend time with each other. The course is intended to take place during a five-week period, with one session taught each week, preferably on Saturday mornings. Using a predict-and-discover approach, the sessions start with simple BASIC commands and move into such programming concepts as input, output, looping, and branching. Instruction is also provided on computer uses, peripherals, and software. The materials in the document include objectives, materials lists, and a description of the teaching activities for each of the five sessions. Also included are reproducible handout sheets which are to be used during the sessions. The appendices contain: (1) a final test (with the answer key); (2) a graduation certificate; (3) a glossary of microcomputer terms; (4) reference sheets for Apple and Atari computers; and (5) a list of services offered through the Minnesota Educational Computing Consortium.
