This guide describes more than 800 film, television, and radio productions developed with the support of the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH). NEH supports projects that convey significant scholarship to the general public and engage citizens in critical interpretation and analysis of the humanities. Film, video, and radio programs are listed in alphabetical order in one of the following eight sections: (1) United States History and American Studies; (2) Literature and Language; (3) World Culture and History; (4) History, Theory, and Criticism of the Arts; (5) Archaeology and Anthropology; (6) Philosophy, Religion, and Ethics; (7) Children's and Family Programming; and (8) General Humanities. Each program listing includes information about content, production credits, format, length, ancillary materials, awards, and current distribution agent (as of June 1992). All distributor addresses and phone numbers can be found in the back of the book. (TMK)

A guide for educators to incorporate computational thinking—a set of cognitive skills applied to problem solving—into a broad range of subjects. Computational thinking—a set of mental and cognitive tools applied to problem solving—is a fundamental skill that all of us (and not just computer scientists) draw on. Educators have found that computational thinking enhances learning across a range of subjects and reinforces students’ abilities in reading, writing, and arithmetic. This book offers a guide for incorporating computational thinking into middle school and high school classrooms, presenting a series of activities, projects, and tasks that employ a range of pedagogical practices and cross a variety of content areas. As students problem solve, communicate, persevere, work as a team, and learn from mistakes, they develop a concrete understanding of the abstract principles used in computer science to create code and other digital artifacts. The book guides students and teachers to integrate computer programming with visual art and geometry, generating abstract expressionist–style images; construct topological graphs that represent the relationships between characters in such literary works as Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone and Romeo and Juliet; apply Newtonian physics to the creation of computer games; and locate, analyze, and present empirical data relevant to social and political issues. Finally, the book lists a variety of classroom resources, including the programming languages Scratch (free to all) and Codesters (free to teachers). An accompanying website contains the executable programs used in the book’s activities.
