TI-101, a series of eight longish
articles on the educational use of
the 99/4a for learners of all ages,
is written by Jack Sughrue, author of
the NEW-AGE 99 series.
The first of this series is
listed on this disk as "#1CORPUS" and
is a historical background to the
stuff leading up to the ways
computers and the TI, in particular,
could be used successfully and
ingeniously in the classroom or at
home. There is also an extensive
address listing of many "educational"
people still active in our TI world.
Look the article over, and, if
you think you could use this series
(TI-101) then feel free to use it.
The other articles begin by
exploring holism up to the ways
computers can be used in the class.
Then I show the variety of ways the
TI can be an important part of any
child's education (any adults, too)
by giving many specific applications
through modules, disks, books,
newsletters, and tapes and even
combinations of all (and not
discounting direct applications in
the form of programming).
Basically, the series is to make
the TI new to new users: our
children, grandchildren, nieces &&
nephews, friends, whoever. But
mostly to LEARNERS of all ages (many
of whom are new or have forgotten the
glories of the "Educational TI" or
might not have been aware of all that
was and IS available for the learner
on our wonderful computer.) Our
"Educational President" failed the
nation's children badly in that
category, but our "Educational
Computer" - the TI-99/4A - far
exceeded (and still does) any
competition. That's what these
articles are about: a remarkable,
viable, educational tool.
The format of the articles I
simply couldn't resist as a teacher.
They all take place in a college
classroom. The course is "TI-101"
and the professor imparts information
in preparation for some test in the
future. He also assigns lots of
homework and notetaking along the
way. Each "class" builds upon the
previous one, and the "lectures" are
titled and numbered: HOLISM is #2,
DOCENT #3, ROOTS #4, MCGUFFEY'S #5,
etc. (through all eight).
