Waiting their turn are (from left) Mat- thew Ferguson, Andrew Scott and Sherri. Erb. In front, Richard Gingrich is seated next to operator David Theil. Pubiic school ets com uter A popular addition to the equipment at Zurich Public School is a new computer, paid for through fund-raising activities coordinated by the studentcouncil. Under the supervision of teacher Larry Weido, children in all grades take their turn at the console. Prepackaged programs are designed to assist the students in all areas of education, in- cluding English, math and science. The operation of the com- puter helps the children im- prove eye -hand coordination, and learn to think quickly. The operator receives instant feedback on how well he or. she is doing. Each child pro- gresses at his or her own rate. "They don't have to unders- tand how it works to be able to use it", Weido said. Judging by the lineup of children waiting their turn to match wits with a machine, the new computeris one of the most popular educational tools at the Zurich Public School.
