N2  - This practical guide helps teachers become proficient at applying the computer to solve problems, infuse it into educational curriculum, and integrate it into their professional and personal lives. Showing how to effectively use the computer in tasks dealing with the creation, access, and analysis of information, it helps users develop an understanding of why, when, and how a computer might be applied to an educational task rather than how a specific piece of software operates. Key Topics: This book is strongly oriented towards task analysis and problem-solving with a focus on application software as a solution to a productivity problem. Contains many up-to-date, useful and creative computer examples and applications at multiple grade levels, it devotes an entire chapter to management concerns, and offers a flexible computer platform making it applicable to DOS, Windows or Macintosh environments. Market: For educators; also an ideal reference for K-12 school libraries
