The advent of the microcomputer has brought instructional computing within the reach of Tost school districts and many homes. In 1981, it was reported that 71 percent of Wisconsin school districts were using microcomputers for instruction. The rapid growth of instructional computing has brought about an exploding volume of , inierination, research, and experimentation. It has also created a need among educators for access to educational computing information and avenues forexchange of ideas and ' experiences. Because new computer publications, programs, curricula, and organizations are appearing every month, it is especially critical that educators be able to establish or participate in such information networks. (Y The Department of,Public Instruction, in cooperation with CEMREL, and with assistance from the Wisconsin Center for Education Research, has developed Computers and the Classroom to serve as a guide for educators, trying to establish or to find theseinfOrmation networks. While computers in schools are used for administrative as well as instructional purposes, this guide concentrates on instructional computing whether in classrooms or IMCs. Computers and the Classroom brings together several types of resources: 1) journal articles, 2) ERIC documents, 1) books, 4) nstructional programs, 5) computer organizations.. 6) computer journalg, and 7) DPI consultants. Many of the instructionaLprograms which are included were funded as ESEA Title IV projects; others were recommended by subject consultants at DPI. Except for those programs which are part of the National Diffusion Network, these programs have not undergone a formal validation process. The resources destribed in this guide are not exhaustive, but they are intended to provide a base from which other contacts can be made. The Department of Public Instruction has made a commitment to assist Wisconsin school districts in using computer technology for the educational benefit of all students. This commitment will be fulfilled only if we work with one another. The staff of the Wisconsin Dissemination Project (WDP), which developed this guide, would like to thank those school districts which contributed to the guide's development. WDP would like to have additional information from Wisconsin school districts about instructional computing programs. The WDP is building and maintaining an online computer file .of educational programs -and organizations in Wisconsin similar to those inclukd in this- guide. This file is used to help answer information requests from Wisconsin schools.If you have information that should be considered for this file, contact the WDP office: Carolyn Folke, 125 South Webster Street, P.O. Box 7841, Madison. WI 53707, (608)267-92311.In addition, there is an evaluation form following this introduction.I hope that you will return this evaluation to help us with similar projects in the future. Workings together we can explore the many possibilities for improving education thrhugh instructional computing. 44410/ Herbert J.
