Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1989, this book differed from others on the topic of microcomputers and education at the time, in that it focuses on the influence that microcomputer technology has on children in their early years, specially pre-school and elementary ages. Microcomputers have the capacity to do great harm as well as good and a full explanation of the technical and philosophical issues involved will be of interest to a number of disciplines. Other topics explored are – the potential uses of microcomputer-technology in early childhood education and current research and theory building on microcomputers and early education. This book should be read by teachers, sociologists, psychologists and researchers in education.

Download or read book Computers Children and Classrooms written by Hilda W. Carmichael and published by . This book was released on 1985 with total page 898 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examined the creative uses of computers in elementary schools and their impact on student's confidence and self-esteem, student-student interaction, student-teacher interaction, male and female students, classroom management, the role of the teacher, special education, teacher training, teachers not involved in the study, and curricular areas such as computer literacy, learning Logo as a programming language, problem-solving and problem-creation, mathematics, oral communication, reading and writing, the arts, and values and the individual and society. Findings are based on intensive examinations of real classrooms over a 2-year period. A total of 433 students in 18 classrooms that involved 13 different teachers were studied; of these, 5 teachers and 40 students were involved in the study for 2 years. Classrooms had 1 to 5 computers over the entire school year, or students had access to a computer laboratory. Logo and word processing were studied extensively; the use of a graphics tablet and Musicland were explored for short periods. Findings indicate that the creative use of computers fosters the development of independent and original thinking and that an environment that encourages exploration leads to extensive social interaction among students; in addition, students become more willing to express, refine, or revise their ideas. A significantly greater proportion of students experienced an increase in their confidence and self-esteem if their teacher was able to give them autonomy over their learning. The impact on students' attention span and cognitive development in the special education classes was also significant. Appendices and selected references are provided. (Author/JB)

Download or read book Impact of Microcomputers on Teachers and on Observable Behaviours of Children Aged Four to Seven Years written by Valerie N. Podmore and published by . This book was released on 1989 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This exploratory study was designed to describe young children's social interactions and teachers' perceptions before and after the introduction of a microcomputer to classrooms and early childhood settings in New Zealand. Two junior school classes and two kindergartens participated. During the first term of 1986, baseline data in the form of independent observation, teachers' diary records, and interviews of the children were collected. A Commodore 64 computer with age-appropriate software was introduced to each classroom or kindergarten in the second term. Data subsequently collected included coded observations, teachers' diary records, teacher and child interview data, and parents' written responses to an exploratory set of questions. An independent observer coded 28 randomly selected children's behaviors before and after the introduction of the computers. Findings tended to support the view that many young children perceive computers as fun, and that microcomputers can enhance aspects of children's social interactions. However, results also suggest that careful planning is needed before microcomputers are introduced to early childhood and junior school learning environments. Appendices provide summaries of teachers' courseware evaluations and instruments used in the study. (Author/RH)

Download or read book Computers for Kids written by Chris Cataldo and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2012-09-10 with total page 135 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book is designed to help children learn and understand the concepts of a computer. It gives them step by step instructions and leads them through the process on how to do something. The book also provides screenshots so the child can also use visual associations with the words that he/she is reading. They also have some exercises in the book that they can do to help them remember what was taught to them. Children learn at an early age and soak up the knowledge. It is best to give them as much information, and to display that information, in as many ways as possible. By the time your child reads this book, they will have a very good basic, but yet strong foundation of the Microsoft Windows operating system. The book is meant for anyone, not only children, to be able to pick it up, read it, and understand it from a non-technical standpoint. Please look towards the back of the book to contact the author for any pre-sales questions or comments.
