There is. some talking • going on as the studentsi work through computer learning exercises in the classroom. However, this classroom is different in that the teachers are the students. - Recently approximately 25 teachers from the Huron - Perth Separate School sys- tem got together once a week for a month to learn more about computers from each other. Organized by the board's computer committee which includes Stratford principals Larry Cook and Don Farwell and St. Patrick's (Dublin) teacher Terry Craig, the class gives the teachers an opportunity to learn. As one teacher explained, the children command the computer during school hours, and in this class, the teacher gets important time at the computer. There are other means through which teachers can learn about computers, such as Ministry of Education programs, but Mr. Craig said teachers are more com- fortable, and lgarn more with their 'colleagues. For the weekly sessions, teachers lugged the school computers to St. Patrick's in Dublin from across the two counties. However, teachers stress that computers won't take over the classroom. "They're just tools in the classroom," Mr. Craig said. The teachers have been learning about computers through -self-taught lessons originally prepared by Toronto school boards for Grade 6 and 7 pupils. Assist- ance required by the teach- ers is provided by the three men in charge. Teachers aren't the only ones to show an interest in computers. Board trustee Vincent McInnes, also a member of the computer committee, participaLeW in the class. Besides just being interested in comiagers, Mr. McInnes said would someday like to see a com- puter in the board room. He said it could be used to ,pro- vide information needed during trustees' discussions.
