THE ONE WEEK
COMPUTER LESSON
by Margy Stewart
What does the term C.D. ROM
mean to you? Well to Blyth Public
School students it means not using
the heavy encyclopedias for a
week. A C.D. Rom is a Compact
Disc Read Only Memory computer.
What a mouthful! For the past
week students from grade kinder
garten to grade 8 have been learn
ing about the C.D. ROM. The
grade sevens have been using the
computer for a history assignment.
Why look through a book when
you get colourful pictures, sound
and a voice that will tell you step
by step instructions on how to use
the programs. Jill Walden, just one
of the grade seven students who has
had the opportunity to use the com
puter says, that the computer is
easy to use, fun and educational.
She prefers to use the C.D. ROM
over an encyclopedia. It gives the
same amount of information but it
doesn't stop there.
The big surprise of it all is that
our school has raised enough
money to buy a C.D. ROM and it
will be kept in the library next year.

things so that visiting grade six
teams from Hullett, Holmesville,
Colbome, St. Joseph's and B.P.S.

like to thank the two referees that
