The Huron Expositor, 1998-02-04, Page 8Ig -THE MORON EXPOSITOR, FaM.wy 4. 1111114 • A state-of-the-art trip, electronic discovery and modern education... CONTINLIED from Page 1. can we see history as written in stone when we can't even really say what exactly hap- pened yesterday). Somehow this project and CD Rom aren't the same, when you try and describe it with words on the pages of a newspaper. The real thing is more like a trip, an electronic discovery - an education. You click here, or you click there, and there's no telling where you may end up. For instance you might find yourself sifting at an archeo- logical dig, or viewing some film footage of a Quaker meeting house in Sparta, or on a cyberfield of "The Battle of Longwoods." History comes alive through various characters, easy to relate to. It's our history with more than a bit of glitz. A RARE THING Units that are being worked on now include immigration, our history from a women's perspective, and media (It's WINIWIN! true, don't believe everything you read - history is written by the winners.) In any case, the "project- meisters" at SDHS plan to test their CD Rom on Ian Hastie's OAC history class at our same local high school soon. They are talking to educa- tional publishers and profes- sionals, now, even as we speak, about marketing the finished product across the province. Profits will go back to the board, which then may tunnel some back to SDHS for future ventures. CD Roms have been made before in Huron high schools. The Tech 21 centre at Clinton finished one last year on modern dating decorum (ie. "no" means "NO"), but it is a rare thing in Ontario for a school to produce a multi- media project for a whole course, such as SDHS is doing. Proceeds from its book fair School purchases books for library Seaforth Public School was able to purchase $350 worth of new books for its library with proceeds from its most recent book fair. According to the school's February newsletter, SPS has also recently been given per- mission from the Heart and Stroke Foundation to form a jump rope demo team, a team of 18 students from Grades 5 through 8 who will demon- strate skipping skills at area schools and heart -related events to raise awareness of heart disease and encourage healthy, active lifestyles. Before it has even begun, this demo team has had four requests to perform in the past few weeks, the newslet- ter adds. WIN_•WIN• W1N• WIN• WIN.
