The Huron County Board of Edu
cation is participating in negotia
tions with Canada Employment and
Immigration with the intentions of
improving the availability of cours
es to students in rural schools.
Business Administrator, Janet
Baird-Jackson and Ralph Ware
ham, Principal of Seaforth District
High School made a presentation to
the board at the Feb. 7 meeting
concerning "Picture Tel".
"Picture Tel" is a new distance
education system which integrates
audio and visual interaction over
great distances.
Mr. Wareham says the system
would allow students in several
schools to benefit from a guest
speaker at a central location. The
students would watch and hear the
speaker via television and would be
able to ask questions of the person
through the same system at his/her
end.
"It would allow teachers to take
part in professional development
training sessions without travelling
great distances," he says, "as well
as providing students with a wider
range of courses that would not be
feasible for small classes in indi
vidual schools." The $4,500 cost
per class is slightly less than the
cost of a teacher for the course.
Mr. Wareham says there is also
the possibility that Conestoga Col
lege could utilize the system to pro
vide more courses at distance
campuses.
Paul Carroll, director of educa
tion, says the board is already in
discussion with companies who
could use the system and may want
to purchase the service, thereby
