How Can 425 Students Learn to Use 1 Microcomputer? A Success Story

The K-7 public school where I am a full-time teacher of seventh-grade mathematics and science has had a microcomputer for one year. The school system had provided one computer for every elementary school in the district, with two conditions. first, one teacher from each school must participate in a graduate course in BASIC programming and computer literacy that carries. five quarter-hours of credit. second, the school must offer minicourses on the computer to Its sixth-and seventh-grade students After completing the five-hour course during the summer and receiving the title “computer teacher-in-residence,” I arranged for the delivery of the microcomputer to our school.

Mathematics And Science

As with fifth and sixth grades, the seventh grade classroom depends on whether the school is an elementary school or middle school. In many Kindergarten through eighth grade schools in Philadelphia, seventh graders have two different teachers rather than only one as with sixth graders. One teacher concentrates on literacy and social studies, while the other teacher takes on mathematics and science. These students cycle between two different classrooms. In contrast, students in middle schools may have a homeroom teacher, but they cycle through a number of different classrooms and teachers for each subject. Their school experiences are much different from those of students who only travel between two classrooms.
