Abstract
The personal computer or microcomputer is one of many pedagogical tools available for classroom use. Depending on the area of teaching, the computer can replace or augment such standard devices as the hand calculator, typewriter, programmedlearning workbooks, and simulations. As with all teaching tools, the computer requires a great deal of preparation by the instructor. The computer must be integrated with course content in a manner consistent with course objectives. This article outlines several of the factors one must consider in developing a computer component for a course. It will consider the positive and negative aspects of computer use from both the students' and instructor's perspective, common myths about computer usage, ways to approach the process of planning computer usage, and places to look for inexpensive teaching oriented software.'
