hd LET AA AL Mad i Salar 32-- PORT PERRY STAR -- Wed., November 4, 1981 Teachers get first hand look at the computor age week and how the computer has great potential for use as a teaching tool in the classroom. The teachers were taking part in a professional activity day workshop at R.H. Cornish School in Port Pérry, under the direction of Paul Lafrance, who is a computer consultant with the Durham Board of Education. About 20 terminals and other hardware owned by the Board were used by the teachers during the day-long workshop.

Physics, math, general science, geography, data processing and computer science are some of the subjects where computers can be used. During the professional activity day, which was: attended by about 100 teachers, there were work- shops in K-3 reading and writing programs; grades 4 and 5 science; grade 6 consumer education and language across the curric- ulum grade 7 and 8.
