Current literature in educational computing concentrates on the creation of better software and more in‐service training to maintain the impetus in the use of microcomputers in the classroom. This approach often ignores the vital role to be played by educational computing courses in initial teacher training, the content of which is much under‐researched. This paper outlines the development of one such course at La Sainte Union College of Higher Education, in which the student teachers were asked to work at an early stage with groups of children using micro‐computers. The results are very encouraging and specific conclusions are presented and discussed. These may be of interest to others involved with formulating policy and the provision of new technology courses in initial teacher training.

AbstractThe Bakken Formation in the Williston Basin has experienced multiple periods of activity and the current level of exploration/exploitation in North Dakota is widespread. The prevalent drilling practices include single and multi-lateral horizontal wellbores requiring hydraulic fracture stimulation to be productive.Many operators are experimenting with an assembly of completion and stimulation techniques in order to achieve economic production. Knowledge and techniques used in other basins with shale production have been applied with positive results. This paper describes the methodologies applied and subsequent production enhancements. By changing stimulation techniques and methodologies along with an evolving thought process, economic productivity has been achieved enabling significant development of the resource for the operator.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
