History nearly l done
y
Students working on project for any school to use
BY BILL LEE
Expositor Co-op Student
Students at Seaforth
District High School have
almost completed work on a
History CD for use in
schools and by the public.
"Disc one is already
finished, and we expect to
have disc two done 'by
February of 1999." said Greg
Sherwood, SDHS teacher
and producer of the CD.
"This is a good solid project.
The students are working as
a collective and not alone."
What started in March of
1997 as a school board
initiative to improve
technological teachings in
the classroom. "Canada in a
North American
Perspective" has become
quite a project.
Unsure of whether or not
the project would work out.
Sherwood said that there is
already work on promoting
the project. With a colour
brochure and packaging
being laid out, a page on the
internet about the project and
content demonstrations being
offered, things have gone
better than expected.
Students work in a job -like
atmosphere rather than in a
typical classroom setting.
The students are given
assignments and due dates
and arc left to work on their
own. This allows the
students to learn by doing.
rather than . by example,
which Sherwood said is a
much better learning
experience.
The project' is a
compilation of Canada's
history as Canadians sec it.
It outlines everything from
creation myths of aboriginal
peopit to the occupation of
the English. The project is
actually a high school course
itself, and , could be
implemented as such. All of
the requirements of a normal
High School coursc arc
contained within except for
formal testing.
A demonstration program
of the project will soon be
available on the internet,
showing people what it has
to offer. From there, you can
order the history CD. On-
line help will be available to
people using the program.
There is also a brief outline
of the project and the
creators on the website.
While it is a school course,
the CD is targetted at anyone
who is interested in the
history of Canada. 1t will be
made available to all schools
in Ontario. as well as the
general public.
James Burns, a student
who is head programmer of
the project, says he enjoys
the work. He feels it is a
great experience that he is
proud and privileged to do.
"I wish I was getting paid
though," laughed Burns.
Burns was one of 7
students who were hired to
work on the project this
summer, with another 5 the
year before, to keep the
project on schedule.
Preferring to work at his own
pace and on his own time,
Burns said he learned a lot
and will still learn more
before the project is finished.
"Probably the biggest
drawback was .that we've
never done this before," says
Sherwood.
There have been about 30
students working on the
project.
He is happy of the overall
outcome and said "We've
been lucky to have very
talented students working
with us."
