researched and developed a computerathletic prog ram for children ages 9 to 13 the course was designed to help chil dren develop their computer skills in a fun environment while at the same time participating in a variety of chal lenging and enjoyable physical activi ties the children of this age group says mr mcfadden are restricted to the time they may work on computers due to the small nulmber of the termin als in the school systems our program will give young students a chance to work individually and at their own speed on computers for two hours a day the athletic side of the program was developed not only as a skill learning device but also as a buffer you cannot expect to sit children in front of a computer for four or five hours at a time and count it as quality instruction claims mr mcfadden they become restless bored in attentive by rotating the computer learning with the physical recreation onan hour by hour basis mr mcfadden relieves the monotony of all morning single subject instruction interested people learn more learn it quicker and re member it longer says mr mcfadden an aspect of future trends experi- ence mr mcfadden is particularity ex cited about is the extensive use of the new childorientated logo program ing system mr mcfadden notes the contempory use of the computers is to put children through their paces to produce feedback and to dispense in formation in essence the computer is prog raming the child with logo the rela tionship is reversed the child prog rams the computer the child teaches the computer to think and develops a learning of how they themselves think the physical activities portion of the program is largely noncompetitive with the emphasis on involvement and enjoyment for both boys and girls con centrated instruction in small groups will seek to foster selfesteem through such activities as cooperative games doug mcfadden course instructor orienteering fitness dance and gym nastics mr mcfadden would
