MacLachlan wants to give all their students, from Kindergarten to OAC, a glimpse of the future to spark their interest in these exciting fields. They can only touch on the concepts and ideas, but they know that their new Lab and the new Science of Robotics and Intelligent Systems programme can significantly enhance C23 their students' studies and their ability to understand and respond to the changing world around us.

Known as the Canadian Heritage Interactive Journey (CHIJ), the unique learning project is designed to famil­ iarize children with the Internet, the CHIJ should also entertain and enthrall them as they study geogra­ phy, history and culture in a rather unique way. As many as 1,100 Canadian schools are reportedly involved in CHIJ including Glenburnie School in Oakville. As the cyclists gather stories, culture and history from host communities, they will share the information with students on the interactive web site. Students will be encouraged to post and share information they have researched about their own communities. The CHU is the "perfect pro­ ject" to introduce students to online and interactive learn­ ing as well as virtual reality, BERTIN STABLES Open 7 days a week year round 1 3 indoor riding' arenas Day at farm for children ages 5-13 (Sat.)

It's education in an instant, and demonstrates to students an alternative for seeking information, she adds. "It will make them realize that the world is big but it isn't really that big, that finding out some­ thing about Vancouver is a keyboard's length away." Glenbumie's Grades 3 to 5 students will be involved in e-mailing and chatting online with stu­ dents in other parts of the country, as it ties in with their unit on Canada. There are also online learn­ ing assignments and contests as the journey unfolds, says Giovenco. "We're thrilled that over 1,100 schools are tak­ ing part in this first-ever adventure, says Ingenuity Works Inc. CEO and President Gary Gumley, developer of the CHIJ. "This project is about empowering our children to accept the challenge of becoming local historians. Canadian students will literally bring our history, culture and geogra­ phy alive through this journey." Each day, tens of thousands of students will log onto the site as the cyclists head through the Rocky Mountains, across the prairies, up to the tiny northern village, of Tuktoyuktuk and over the new bridge to Prince Edward Island. Ingenuity Works is an award-winning Canadian developer and publisher of educational software and online Internet projects. Planning for another national Internet journey next year is already taking place, this one focusing on the arts. Governor General Romeo LeBlanc launches two of the three teams at Rideau Hall»in Ottawa Thursday, an event to be watched live by thousands of stu­ dents via the Internet. Other Oakville schools hoping to participate are Brookdale and Montclair Public Schools. R I IN I G Spring is the time to let loose. And swing dance is the perfect way to have fu n and stay fit.
