PARIM/tne By H. DEAX EVANS Superintendent of Public Instruction

Computers are proving to be the single most intriguing addition to American life and education since TV. Schools are introducing computer literacy classes and BASIC programming at earlier and earlier ages. And parents often ask. “At what age should my child start computing?” But the fact is that today’s toddler and pre-schooler are already “computing.” Tots are as likely to have frequent contact with computers as their parents were likely at such young ages to watch a TV program. That is, computers are all around today’s youngsters. Boys and girls are growing up in a world of electronic screens — from the electronic teller at the bank to the cash register display at the supermarket. They don't have to “learn” about computers as their parents did Computers are among the facts of life . like refrigerators, air conditioners, radios and tape players that were new. experiences to their parents and grandparents. “ Even with computers all around us, however, the International Council for Computers in Education say that if all the computers in U.S. schools were divided equally, there would be 11 at each school and each student's time at a keyboard would

average only 15 minutes per day. The Council believes an hour or more is needed. The answer to more time is not necessarily for families to buy computers. Some ’ children can get more time on a computer after class in a club or extra-curricular activity such as the school newspaper. Others will find computer classes or practice time at a Boys Club/Girls Club or YMCA/YWCA. As part of Computer Learning Month during October, many community schools are participating in national contests to write essays, create computer art and enter creative group projects. Families that own home computers can be involved as well. Information is available from “Computer Learning Month,’’ P.O. Box 19736, Washington. DC. 20036. At school or at home, computers fascinate children who otherwise seem to fail to grasp the need for concentration to ■ achieve advancement in their learning. Computers can assist in drill-and-practice learning, providing a repetitive test of skills such as the multiplication tables of spelling words — and display smiles to reward good work. High schools can demonstrate the grade records of student who were slow or lagging in English classes and unable to write a complete paragraph, but who have new been enticed to far bet-. ter work by the computer’s flashing cursor and by the ease of making electronic changes with the mess of an eraser. The computer excites the challenge of learning. The very idea of computers leaves many parents with an unnecessary concern that their children may fall behind for lack of a computer at home. In lieu of a home computer, parents who want to make the most of school opportunities can encourage their children to learn as early as possible to be skillful at the art of touch typing. Some schools have offered the program as early as third grade and many offer it today in sixth grade. By junior high school, emphasis in computer learning tends to shift to the “literacy" of computing and to applications such as word processing — the use of a computer to write term papers and essays. Few children ever will need to write programs for a computer. To drive a car, you need not understand what is going on under the hood — although it helps. The same is true of computers. But children who are able to type well will use word processing programs to make school work easier and more enjoyable. They can add the usefulness of an on-line thesauruses, a spelling and style checker, and an outlining program. All go better if the youngster has mastered minimum typing skills. "HERE IT COMES!"

I \ ■Hr PRIMETIME WORKING IN MILFORD SCHOOL — Teacher aide Linda Helms assists Amanda Cripe (front) and teacher Carol Landrigan helps Brad Andrews in a second grade class at Milford Elementary School as part of the Indiana Prime Time program. Prime Time is a program and fund established by the state to provide money to encourage school corporations to lower the pupil/teacher ratio in kindergarten through third grade. The program was begun in grade one in Milford and expanded to include grades two. three and kindergarten. The goal of the program in the 1987-88 school year is to achieve a pupil-teacher ratio of 18 to one in kindergarten and grade one and 20 to one in grades two and three. A teacher aide counts as one-third teacher. Russ Mikel, assistant principal, said Milford school has experienced positive results with the Prime Time program. (Photo by Glen Long)
