Abstract
This paper describes the content of a course entitled “Computers in Education” offered within the teacher certification program at Southwest Texas State University. This course, designed specifically for teacher education has several objectives including the following:
(1) to cover material which would be most likely included in a secondary school curriculum,
(2) to give adequate motivation for covering this material in the secondary school,
(3) to list objectives to be reached in the secondary school classroom for each topic,
(4) to present teaching techniques for topics in the secondary school,
(5) to present computer related topics designed to aid the teacher in instruction,
(6) to present computer related topics designed to aid the teacher in school administrative work.
