Until a detailed review has been completed, the Durham Regional Police are not commenting commenting on any specific aspect of the report. From page I The idea of making connections connections is to allow the students students in the twinned schools to communicate with each other and work on similar interest projects. Hoogcndam says there are a vast number of projects the students could do. An example, he noted, would be weather readings. "By taking daily temperature temperature readings, students will learn how it affects them and what they do. "They will find out how it affects what they dress in, what kinds of activities they do during the day -- including including sports. They will also find out how it impacts the type of housing they live in, and use it to do lifestyle comparisons." comparisons." Russell noted that this year, England didn't have snow. This is the type of information students would trade with each other. Another project would include literature studies through learning about each country's legends, Hoogcndam said. He envisions envisions the students getting involved with the myths, fantasies fantasies and legends of each county, and then doing some Police Briefs Monday, April 13 Cell phone taken -- A Mill St, Newcastle, resident resident reported after two of his vehicles were broken into, the cell phone was discovered missing.

These stories would then be shared with the students in both countries, England and Canada. What can be done with science and literacy will also be done with history, language language arts, mathematics and other subjects, says Hoogcndam. The project will help "introduce kids to computers without isolating them and it gives them an audience." Sharpies noted, "it will be making students use the technology technology and will be a chance to enhance their knowledge." The students will have the chance to get to know each of the schools, too. Russell said that during the one-week stay in Ontario, lie and Sharpies have seen there arc many differences between schools here and those at home. "Everything here is bigger, bigger, with 300 to 700 or 800 students. In my town, schools have 150 to 300 students," Russell said. However, there arc more schools, too, he admitted. Students walk to school and arc not transported by bus, as arc many students here. . In England, there are schools "everywhere you look," in housing developments developments and towns, he said. Russell says regardless of the size or type of school, what learning comes down to is the teachers. "Teachers arc the key, especially in this project. project. "First we'll have a 12- month project and then take it from there." After the first year, a decision may be made to expand the program to "both sides of the pond." Hoogcndam says, "I hope it will be something to recommend recommend to other schools. I hope it will be something that will grow." Sharpies noted that with the initial links having been made, the rest is really up to the students who take advantage advantage of the opportunity. Fitch observed: "With the history of the internet, it will grow. We arc simply plowing the road."
