  abstract =     "Computers have now become an extremely important
                 factor in society. It is thus important that education
                 about computers, their use, and the role they are
                 playing in the development and functioning of society
                 be undertaken as soon as feasible in the educational
                 process. A logical place for this undertaking is in the
                 secondary school or perhaps even at the junior high
                 school level. Computers can serve the secondary teacher
                 as an instructional tool for problem formulation and
                 problem solution as well as for learning scientific
                 ideas. Computers can help provide motivation for much
                 of the work in mathematics, as well as in science and
                 business. They can also provide the necessary tool to
                 promote and carry out the applied and practical side of
                 subjects, which is receiving far more realistic
                 attention today. They thus can help the teacher combat
                 the all too prevalent notion that mathematics and
                 sometimes science are too theoretical. Since a well
                 trained teacher with appropriate computer science
                 education is the key to this educational problem,
                 primary attention will be given to the teacher training
                 problem. Another reason for this emphasis is that not
                 enough is being done in our colleges currently. It is
                 hoped that this presentation will call attention to
                 this need and help motivate educators to further action
                 to solve the problem in the teacher training area,
                 which in turn will take care of the problem in the
                 secondary school itself.",
