Senator
Jack
Austin,
Federal
Minister
for
Expo
86,
was
delighted
by
the
news.
"It
is
most
appropriate
that
France,
whose

open
up
Western
Canada,
should
be
the
first
continental
European
country
to
join

has
reached
fourteen.

From

time

rose

list
has
included

and

In

The
computer
age
has
arrived
at
CNC
in
Mackenzie!
For
the
last
18
months
we
have
had
several
Apple
II
microcomputers
on
campus
for
our
computer
programming
courses
and
BOT
and
BTSD
programs.
Like
many
people,
I
was
skeptical
and
even
a
little
afraid
of
these
powerful
little
machines.
Words
like
algorithm,
diskette,
RAM,
modem,
interface,
and
microprocessor
seemed
to
be
from
high-level
technological
language
completely
imcomprehensible
to
ordinary
mortals.
After
a
little
prodding
from
my
director,
I
decided
to
take
the
CNC
computer
course
.
I
?rogramming
ound
to
my
delight
that
a
Ph.
D.
in
advanced
mathematics
was
not
required
to
understand
the
Apple.
In
fact,
I
was
soon
writing
simple
programs
for
use
in
my
BTSD
class.
Today
the
Apple
Is
an
important
part
of
my
course.
Students
use
it
frequently
to
help
them
learn
new
skills
or
to
master
skills
taught
in
the
regular
curriculum.
There
are
still
a
few
students
who
are
Intimidated
by
the
computer,
but
their
ranks
are
decreasing.
After
leaving
the
Apple
in
my
class
for
several
months,
I
have
concluded
that
computer
literacy
is
a
definite
asset
or
even
a
requirement
for
many
jobs
today.
Since
we
are
in
the
business
of
preparing
adults
for
workplace,
I
believe
that
computer
literacy
should
be
part
of
our
curriculum.
The
microcomputer
adapts
ideally
to
the
self-paced
instructional
format
of
many
ABE
classrooms.
Students
can
use
the
computer
on
an
individual
basis
when
they
need
it
and
for
as
long
as
they
need
it.
The
computer
has
infinite
amounts
of
(unlike
human
?atience
nstructors)
to
aid
in
the
mastery
of
skills.
Of
course
there
are
problems
associated
with
computer
assisted
education.
The
most
obvious
is
the
lack
of
high-quality
educational
software
.
The
major
software
companies
are
concentrating
their
efforts
of
the
more
lucrative
business
and
entertainment
markets.
As
more
and
more
schools
acquire
microcomputers,
the
amount
of
software
should
increase,
both
from
the
software
companies
and
from
the
teachers
themselves.
I
would
recommend
that
all
ABE
instructors
take
a
long,
hard
look
at
the
usefulness
of
computers
in
the
classroom.
By
doing
so,
we
can
help
determine
the
role
that
the
computer
will
play
in
our
curriculum.

Sell
or
Lease
School
districts
wishing
to
sell
or
lease
surplus
schools
and
properties
are
to
be
allowed
to
use
a
portion
of
the
revenue
to
enhance
their
nonshareable
capital
accounts,
Education
Minister
Bill
Vander
Zalm
has
announced.
The
new
ruling
means
that
such
monies
may
be
used
for
projects
that
do
not
normally
fall
within
the
Ministry
of
Education's
guidelines
for
shareable
capital
spending.
Examples
are
equipment
and
facilities
for
locally-
developed
coursed,
some
playground
equipment,
additional
library
supplies,
and
the
Improvement
of
the
aesthetic
qualities
of
buildings
and
grounds
.
Mr.
Vander
Zalm
said
that
while
providing
districts
with
additional
funds
without
their
having
to
go
to
the
taxpayers,
the
new
measure
would
also
give
them
an
incentive
to
manage
their
space
as
effectively
as
possible.
"We
hope
all
districts
with
surplus
space
will
take
advantage
of
this
opportunity,"
he
said.
In
the
case
of
the
sale
of
assets
made
surplus
by
declining
enrolment
or
shifts
in
population,
boards
will
be
permitted
to
retain
50
percent
of
their
portion
of
the
shareable
capital
derived,
for
use
in
their
non-shareable
accounts.
In
the
case
of
leasing
of
buildings
or
&
m
Ph

grounds,
districts
are
to
be
permitted
to
retain
50
per
cent
of
their
share
of
the
net
shareable
revenue
.
Leasing
uidelines
issued
y
the
ministry
state
that
first
call
on
the
property
at
prevailing
local
,market
rates
should
go
to
provincial
education
institutions,
followed
by
other
clients
who
are
totally
or
partially
publicly
-
funded,
clients
funded
by
the
federal
government
,
community
groups
and
charitable
organizations
,
and
finally
commercial
organizations.
