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."
