| Abstract: | Abstract A major problem in introducing computing into schools is how to teach teachers programming and give them confidence to write programs which they can use in their class-rooms. The Exeter Project, originally into PROLOG and History teaching, has experimented with a new user-friendly front-end to PROLOG , called MITSI (Man In The Street Interface), and has written teacher oriented documentation for the existing front-end, SIMPLE . This article analyses teacher's responses to the Project's two latest programming courses, and suggests that PROLOG programming, using appropriate front-ends, might be a particularly successful medium for Humanities teachers. |
