- 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).
- If you print them, please give
- "originally appeared in" credit to
- "BITS, BITES && PIXELS," Lima, Ohio,

- mailing list. Thank you. JACK
