Board's Draft Capital Plan online By Stew Slater SPECIAL TO THE TIMES -ADVOCATE DUBLIN — The future enrolment and construc- tion projections of the Huron -Perth Catholic District School Board, as well as an opportunity to comment on those projec- tions, is now as close for the public as the click of a computer mouse. The board's Draft Capital Plan, a document which is now required to meet specific parameters of Ontario's Education Ministry, has been placed AUCTION Auctioneer Bob Heywood 235-0874 www.bobheywoodauctions.com WED.

Business superinten- dent Gerry Thuss provided a short demonstration of how it might look to online visitors, during a meeting April 24. Included on the site are multi-year enrolment pro- jections for each school, as well as for the board as a whole. Floor plans of each facility are provided. In the draft plan, schools are grouped into different clusters, and possible future changes are listed for some of those clusters. There are also tentative financing details for some of the proposed changes. If people want, they can fill out an online question- naire seeking input into the board's plans. The Draft Capital Plan is not brand new; it has been available to the public for a couple of months. But according to Thuss, plac- ing it online will make it much easier for the public to find it, and much easier for the board to fulfill one of the other requirements of the Education Ministry: that the Draft Capital Plan be subject to public con- sultation. One key route to consul- tation will be through school principals, Thuss said, adding they'll take the plan to the school councils and ask for sug- gestions about how to get the school community involved. It will also be promoted through school newsletters. But Thuss is hoping for a strong response to the online questionnaire as well, since it's often hard to get people to attend public consultation meet- ings. Program looks for "Academic Honesty" By Stew Slater SPECIAL TO THE TIMES -ADVOCATE SEAFORTH — The stereotype that many children are much more skilled than their parents at navigating the Internet is probably based largely in real- ity. But educators with the Avon Maitland District School Board haven't always found students to be as knowledgeable as they should be about the pratfalls of Internet use, and they're aiming to turn the board's teachers into the ultimate experts. Delivering a report entitled "Academic Honesty" at a regular meeting April 25, curriculum co-ordinator Jennifer Cronsberry told trustees about a new Avon Maitland teachers' resource that's expected to be fully implemented by September 2006. It's the culmination of work started two years ago by Cronsberry's predecessor, who brought in a guest speaker to address the issue of plagiarism from the Internet, and created a committee charged with developing an Avon Maitland response. "We know that we need to be able to build (students') skills in navigating all the information that's out there," Cronsberry told trustees. Plagiarism is one issue, and the curricu- lum co-ordinator said the ready availabil- ity of vast amounts of digital information has made today's students less aware of the value placed on intellectual property by its creators. "I think there's a lot of myths out there — like, if you just change the words, it's OK," Cronsberry commented. "It's perva- sive in our society. It's not just students. People download music all the time and think it's fine." But she told reporters the new teachers' resource — including something called a "continuum," which states what level of awareness students should have about the Internet from Grade 4 on upwards — is not solely meant to prevent copying someone else's work. "If we approach it just as a cheating issue, I think we scare students into thinking they can't use the Internet," Cronsberry explained. A key goal, she said, is creating students able to surf the Internet with a critical eye, successfully determining what type of information is useful or reliable and what is not. The Avon Maitland board has also made resources about the issue available online for both teachers and students.
