Huron Expositor, 2009-07-01, Page 21t • CH$S7 Listowel receive S t u Slater The program is also active around the world. Following a regular Meet - A.' joint application from high . ing of the Avon 'Maitland District schools in Clinton and Listowel was School Board — at which he provided one of eight in Canada selected to information about the IDEAL prof- receive approximately ect — McKay told reporters that ap- $100,000 (US) in lap-(-----cmilw proximately 14 applica- tops,software and tions were submitted training, thanks to US - based computer giant Hewlett-Packard (HP). Entitled "The IDEAL Classroom for 21st Cen- tury Education," the application was head- ed up by Listowel Dis- trict Secondary School (LDSS) computer tech- nology teacher Blair McKay but also — in keeping with HP's ap- plication requirements for inter -department and inter -school. coop- eration — included math and science teachers at LDSS and Central Hu- ron Secondary School. It was selected as one of the 2009 recipients of the HP Innovations in Education grants, along with appli- cations from the Dufferin-Peel school board, both the French and English Catholic school boards in Barrie, and applications from Edmonton, Winni- peg, Moncton, New Brunswick awl Corner Brook, Newfoundland. 'This really brings the computer lab to the tident' 4 Jeff Reaburn, System Principal of Technology for the ion Maitland School Board Os • from Ontario. The acronym . stands for "Interactive Digital Environments for Ac- celerated Learning." HP's commitment will begin in Septem- ber, 2009, with the pro- vision of two sets of 20 "Mini -Note PC" laptops on moveable carts. There will also be eight "Tablet PCs", complete with digital x projectors and video camera capability, for use by teachers, and two printers. "This really brings the computer lab to the student," explained Jeff Reaburn, who assisted the IDEAL application team on behalf of Avon Maitland administ ation. Currently, he.id, high schools are equipped with computer tech- nology that isn't portable, making it difficult to incorporate computer ap- plications in diverse abject areas. The HP project — which runs over two years — will point the way to how that could change in the future. Att ppts will be made to incorpo- rate the laptops in science aiid math courses. And there will be. focus on Grade 10 classes, since -4 according to Mc- Kay - that's when i lot of students start making decisions about future career paths. 200 d *obit E; Mscag . wtA ,a cftware ---—-.-�._.. i P. .,Ot • �l►S�i�I�Z 1 "The other dining that's really ex- citing for us is the collaboration between different schools, and be- tween different classrooms," McKay told trustees. /111 WIltFirD r. .
