St. James' students were exposed to computers earlier this year when three computers were at the school. Last week 16 computers arrived from the school board. Larry Cook, co-ordinator of computer in- struction and curriculum course for HPRCSSB, said the ICON computers are approved by the Ontario Ministry of Education. Five years ago the ministry wanted each child to have 30 minutes a day computer time, which works out to one computer per 10 children in the HPRCSSB area. The computers are being purchased by the school board and are compatible with many other software makers. The school board needs 300 com- puters to reach its goal for 1992 and now has 200 set up at some of its schools. "There are many things that have to be done before we can achieve full use," said Mr. Cook. "We have to learn about copyright laws and subscription services. We at the school board have to realign our funding." In the HPRCSSB area three Huron Coun- ty schools have all their computers. They are Our Lady of Mount Carmel, Mount Carmel, St. Mary's, Goderich, and St. James, Seaforth. Since the school board is small they have made a commitment to the elementary schools first. The new high school, St. Michael's, to be built in Strat- ford by 1992, will be built to accommodate computers. "It's good for the children to get started on the computers," said Mr. Cook. "The program will be used equally by all our children, al 'I ough children who use com- puters at home do have an obvious advan- tage." The computers are being looked at as an educational tool for use in the learning pro- cess. They are viewed as tools in the same way that pencils, textbooks or notebooks are. "Our plan is , have the children view the computers as another „••I,1 to use m their studfies and school work processing," said Mr. Cook. "We Won't have classes in computers as such. We're,- trying to in- tegrate more subjects with computer pro- grams. There are, Some excellent programs available and we're fitting a'. better •agile tion of them g time.".,.• Maybe about to be gone are the clocked typing classes set ,„ the beat of a piano accompanied by a tappity typewriter.
