we've already been going in, and which has been showing us positive results in terms of achievement and dropouts.\u201d essential to continue in ETSB phasing in iPads CONT'D FROM PAGE 1 to refocus the program on its original goal of providing one device per student while ensuring that technology is integrated in the classroom in a simple yet dynamic format.He called the format of the tablet very intuitive, and said that the goal of the new approach was to provide students and teachers with a tool that could enhance the work already being done in the classroom and integrate with established digital infrastructure while also opening new doors to learning.\u201cThe technology needs to be almost invisible,\u201d Béliveau said, pointing out that throwing a complex new technology into a classroom that takes more time to learn to use than the course material is a roadblock to education.With the increasing maintenance required on the old laptops and the growing need to share the resources available over the last several years causing complex scheduling compromises and technological complications in teaching situations, it became clear that a new direction was needed.The Assistant Director explained that, despite the launch of roughly 1,000 devices this year in Grade Six and Secondary One classrooms across the Townships, testing to determine the board\u2019s best option is ongoing.Several operating systems and devices are being considered, but he suggested that after spending ten years functioning in an Apple-based technological context, there is some question as to whether the compatibility issues and operational shifts that would accompany a shift away from Apple products would be worth the trouble.Over the last ten years the school board has come under fire repeatedly for the growing cost of their approach to integrating technology in the classroom, responding each time with statistics suggesting improved performance and lowered dropout rates.Béliveau estimated the board is spending close to $400,000 on this year\u2019s deployment in iPads alone with instated added costs for their protective cases and spare hardware, as well as associated maintenance and insurance plans.These costs come at a time when school boards across the province are being told to cut millions of dollars from their budgets, but in spite of that Béliveau spoke highly of the move.He admitted that it is a move filled with - GORDON LAMBIE Patrick Paradis, a secondary 2 teacher at Massey Vanier High school in Cowansville who has been testing the iPads for

that we\u2019ve already been going in, and which has been showing us positive results in terms of achievement and dropouts,\u201d He said, \u201cFor us it\u2019s not a question of \u201cshould we continue?\u201d It\u2019s \u201chow should we continue?\u201d Patrick Paradis, who teaches at Massey Vanier High School in Cowans- ville and who has been part of the ongoing process of test-driving the tablets in his secondary two classes, spoke highly of the shift to the tablets, saying that he has encountered next to no issues with the devices.In working with the iPads in his math, science and outdoor education classes, he said that the tablets have proven to be very useful for the communication of ideas and assignments, environmentally friendly, and very durable.\u201cSafety-wise there\u2019s no moving parts in it so it\u2019s a lot more sturdy,\u201d Paradis said, \u201cand with the case we put on them it\u2019s pretty resistant.\u201d He shared that the person who came to demonstrate the tablet\u2019s capabilities from Apple had thrown the iPad across the room with the case on to demonstrate its durability.\u201cCompared to a laptop it\u2019s almost unbreakable,\u201d he said.Coupled with the introduction of a more robust device, Béliveau said that the new launch aims to cut down on the need for maintenance with an increased focus on digital citizenship and teaching students to care for the devices they are assigned.\u201cThe digital citizenship approach was not as present in 2003, and the accountability that students need to have when given this kind of device was not developed the way it should have been right from the get-go,\u201d Béliveau said.\u201cThis time some schools have decided to have a gradual take home model where they help students become more responsible for their device use before letting them take the tablets home.\u201d He added that care for each tablet is part of a combined responsibility, shared by the student, the teachers, and the parents involved.From a pedagogical perspective both Paradis and Béliveau were positive about the new tool's potential, though they both admitted that no piece of technology is perfect, and pointed out that the introduction of any new system on a large scale will include some problems that need to be dealt with.\u201cI think people are excited about this Investment in improved air quality for CSS schools SHERBROOKE e Des Sommets School Board (CSS) | has received confirmation that it can carry out planned preventive work in connection with the air quality in its buildings.The announcement to this effect was made Monday by Dr.Ré- jean Hébert, Minister responsible for the Estrie region and MNA for Saint François, during a press conference held at the Arc-en-Ciel primary school in Saint-François-Xavier-de-Brompton.The investment of $4.8 million announced includes the $2.7 million already spent for much of the work done at l\u2019École Saint-Philippe in Windsor in recent months.The announcement, therefore commits an additional $2.1 million for work at other institutions.The CSS has nearly 40 buildings used to provide services in the MRCs of des Sources, Val -Saint-François, and Mem- phremagog, with an average age of 53 years.In just the last five years, the CSS has invested an average $4.9 million per year in maintenance and improvement of its buildings.For the 2013-2014 school year, the CSS has decided to give priority to the work relating to improving the air quality in crawlspaces by installing vapor barrier membranes or dehumidification systems, drainage, and waterproofing foundations, and the repair of roofing and siding.new tool,\u201d Béliveau said, \u201cbut it\u2019s not always perfect.\u201d \u201cFor me, you can do three things with (the iPad), you can create, you can learn, and you can play,\u201d Paradis said.\u201cThe play dimension is always there, but when students in my test groups lost their iPad for the day the message got across pretty quickly when it was time to work and when it was time to play.\u201d The teacher stressed the importance of clear technology guidelines in the classroom and said that with structure in place there is no reason that the tablets should be in the least bit detrimental to student attention.\u201cYou can be distracted looking out the window,\u201d he said, suggesting that the digital citizenship approach includes taking responsibility for learning in the face of limitless distraction and self- managing.In the effort to help teachers move into the transition more easily, Béliveau said that the board has provided the equivalent of two and a half days of training so far, with part of that being in-class with the students on day-one of the implementation.\u201cWhat we noticed in the past is that the early adopters, our go-getters, are teachers who will put a lot of time into finding ways to use the device and making sure they know all the little details,\u201d Béliveau explained, \u201cbut the mid and late adopters who are not as attracted or find it doesn\u2019t come naturally for them, we need to provide them time and support to help them feel more comfort able.\u201d In that respect, he said that the results have been positive so far, with teachers generally saying that the tablets served the needs they had in the classroom, with only a few reporting compatibility issues or technical glitches.The plan for this newest phase of the ETSB\u2019s ELS is to roll out the iPads over the next four years, with two grades being introduced per year, as was the case with the laptops ten years ago.Travel Vaccination Service * Hepatitis A and B = Typhoid + Update your immunization schedule Thursdays 10 a.m.to 11:30 am.Rachel

opened its new Language School with an activity to accommodate seven students from Brazil who are undertaking a 21-week linguistic and cultural visit to Sherbrooke.They are the recipients of the \u2018Science Without Borders\u2019 scholarship granted by the Brazilian Ministry of Education, one of many initiatives to internationalize education in Brazil.The scholarship pays for a year of study in their field of specialization, but also provides an additional six months to learn another language.The need to create a new welcoming structure was obvious to members of the internationalization team at the Cégep, who could barely meet the demand for language training from their foreign language partners, of which Brazil is one, along with Ecuador, Mexico, the United States, and Italy.Seven students from Brazil are part of the first cohort to benefit from the new service and support from the Cégep de Sherbrooke School of Languages.For the students, the immersion program will continue until May 23, 2014, after which they will have learned enough French to study in a regular program next fall.They will be accompanied by a team composed of teachers in French - as a second language, integration counselors, and students who will act as linguistic mentors.In addition to full-time training, the seven will be welcomed into Sherbrooke families, providing them with a rich learning experience, both culturally and linguistically.Virginia Tétreault is a student in Computer Science Technology, who has agreed to host a Brazilian coed as a roommate and for whom the experience is rewarding and builds memories: \u201cLast summer, I did a computer internship in Brazil for two weeks and I love the Brazil ian culture and lifestyle.I-did not hesitate to give my name to the College to accommodate students from elsewhere.When I knew I was a Brazil host, [ was delighted to be able to share my experience,\u201d she says.The Cégep is currently recruiting family environments open to offer accommodation to international students attending the School of Languages in June 2014.For more information on the program and procedures contact internationalisation@cegepsher-

derailment last July.The tender issued by the Ministry of Sustainable Development, Environment, Wildlife and Parks (MDDEFP) states that 558,000 metric tons of contaminated soils have to be treated near the site and that the quality of the treated soil must meet standards established by the government for the protection and reclamation of contaminated land.It adds that all contaminated soil must be removed from the scene to be processed or stored no later than December 12, 2014 and that all land fill requirements must be filled by the company chosen, also by that date.The government's main goal is to ensure that the work is effective and carried out as soon as possible at the best possible cost, a communiqué says.This call for tenders marks the beginning of an important stage in the rehabilitation of the site, which aims to give the citizens of Lac-Mégantic unrestricted use of the land affected by the tragedy, it adds.SQ warns of pot processing dangers SHERBROOKE sweep of

activities related to the processing of cannabis.It is common for this activity to cause major fires that can cause death and injury due to the use of volatile solvents that are heated.The transformation of raw cannabis into resin or other derivatives thus poses serious risks to both the person carrying it out and for those living nearby.When the processing is done in an

including the , trick played on one particular exhibitor notorious for being a legendary Casanova.EDITORIAL Safeguarding our past SUSAN MASTINE historical society is defined by Wikipedia as \u201can organization hat collects, researches, interprets and preserves information or items of historical interest., focuses on a specific geographical area, such as a county or town or subject.They often preserve historic architecture and maintain period houses for tour.Many historical societies publish journals or maintain museums to showcase their field of study.\u201d Our local historical societies do just that as they strive to safeguard our past.The Lennoxville-Ascot Historical and Museum Society is one of them.But last week, it stepped outside of the box, beyond such organizations\u2019 habitual realms of exhibits and guest speakers.It held an evening of reminiscences.The topic was Sherbrooke\u2019s former Winter Fair, an event that was held in the fall until the late 1970s to promote market animals\u2014cattle, sheep, and hogs.During the discussion, there was mention of the names of exhibitors from decades ago\u2014many no longer alive, ofthe positioning of the various buildings\u2014none still standing, and of the role the fair played in boosting the quality of animals raised for mar- ket\u2014as a stepping stone for Eastern Canadian producers to the Toronto Royal Winter Fair.Several people had lent or brought along memorabilia\u2014 the newspaper clippings and photos.were pored over, but there were also prize-winning ribbons, an Island Brook calf club sweat shirt, and sales price lists of all of the market animals sold in 1965 and in 1966.There were tales of camaraderie and anecdotes of antics at the fair, including the trick played on one particular exhibitor notorious for being a legendary Casanova, which involved having an eminent man dress up in feminine attire to woo the unsuspecting target at the annual banquet and dance for those showing their stock.During the preparation for this evening, it became clear that there is a dearth of information on the Sherbrooke Winter Fair.As the evening's moderator, Dick Evans, pointed out, it would be a good subject for a research project.Kudos should be extended to the Lennoxville-Ascot Historical and Museum Society for taking this innovative approach to exploring this part of our region\u2019s history.Our historical societies have a role to play in keeping stories from the past alive, as do we all.On another farming note, last Friday, the United Nations officially launched the International Year of Family Farming 2014.To quote the UN, \u201cthe launching of this International Year opens up a unique opportunity to promote public policies in favour of the development of Family Farming, whose role and potential as guarantor of food security is not sufficiently acknowledged.\u201d Governments should take note.Perhaps the local family farm is a subject our historical societies could

SHERBROOKE Thee years ago Kevin Mackey was a part-time assistant coach \u2018with the Bishop's Gaiters.Today he is regarded as one of the country\u2019s top coaches after winning the Frank Tindall Trophy as the CIS Coach of the Year.Mackey was considered a cerebral player beginning with his days as an Alexander Galt Piper and his knowledge of the game continued as he wore the uniforms of the Champlain Cougars, Western Ontario Mustangs and ending with a final season with the Gaiters.It was not surprising that he would turn to coaching when he finally hung up his cleats and he played an instrumental role in helping lead the Champlain Cougars to a Bol d'Or appearance in 2006.A year later he joined the Gaiter staff and was named in- terim coach following the de- §& parture of Leroy Blugh in 2011 He had the interim title removed when he signed a long- term contract on January 16, 2012 and certainly justified the athletic department\u2019s faith in him this season when he directed the Gaiters to a remarkable turnaround as the team went from 0-9 to 6-2, the programme\u2019s best record since 1993.The Gaiters finished second in the RSEQ conference, arguably the most competitive in the country, and earned their first home playoff berth since 1994.Of their six victories in league play, three came by the SHERBROOKE e Bishop\u2019s University De- | partment of Athletics and

Page 8 TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 26, 2013 Four new ways to save on beauty products FROM CONSUMER RE- source for high-end skin care and other PORTS®- beauty products for less.Kirkland Signa- by the editors of Consumer Reports There are many \u2018ways to save on makeup and skin care items, but 56 percent of women say they don\u2019t take advantage of coupons and discounts codes, according to a new national poll from ShopSmart, the shopping magazine from the publisher of Consumer Reports.\u201cThere\u2019s no reason to overpay or to miss a potential deal when buying beauty items,\u201d said Lisa Lee Freeman, ed- itor-in-chief of ShopSmart.\u201cAlso consider store-brand beauty products \u2014 if you like them, the savings can be worthwhile in the long run.\u201d FOUR NEW WAYS TO SAVE ON BEAUTY PRODUCTS \u2014 New store brands.Store-brand beauty products offer more choices than ever.ShopSmart\u2019s recent beauty product price scan found store brands can save shoppers as much as 40 percent on products such as facial cleansers, scrubs, moisturizers and eye serums.CVS, Rite Aid, Target, Walgreens and Wal-Mart offer at least two tiers of store brands \u2014 a basic line that competes solely on price, and a premium line.Also consider bargain beauty products lurking in unlikely places such as Aldi, Trader Joe's and Whole Foods.\u2014 High-end look-alikes.These \u201cequivalents\u201d compete with higher-end name brands with comparable ingredients.They might be more expensive than mass brands, but in most cases are cheaper than premium brands.ShopS- mart found CVS equivalents to best-sell-' ers such as Olay Regenerist Micro-Sculpting Cream and L'Oreal Deep-Set Wrinkle Repair Day Lotion.\u2014 Celebrity lines.CVS, Target and Wal- Mart offer celebrity makeup lines that can\u2019t be found anywhere else.Target carries an exclusive cosmetics line from celebrity makeup artist Sonia Kashuk with great prices and selection.Wal- Mart recently launched Flower, an exclusive makeup line from actress Drew Barrymore \u2014 most items typically cost $10 or less.And CVS sells actress Salma Hayek\u2019s Nuance line.\u2014 Bulk buys.Warehouse stores and their websites are great places to buy high-end beauty goods.Costco is a secret ture, Costco\u2019s house brand, carries versions of Borghese products, a high-end beauty brand sold in upscale stores.Though Borghese doesn\u2019t say that Costco\u2019s version is the same, it does say that the Kirkland Signature line is made specifically for Costco in the same factory.FINDING THE BEST BEAUTY DEALS To find out which national retailer has the best beauty bargains, ShopSmart | asked secret shoppers across the country to price six name-brand and comparable store-brand beauty products at CVS, Target, Walgreens and Wal-Mart.Two of the items featured in the.price scan \u2014 facial moisturizers and facial cleansers \u2014 are two of the three top products women are most \u201cbrand loyal\u201d to, according to ShopSmart\u2019s poll.\u2014 Store brands save big.More than half of women in ShopSmart\u2019s survey have spent more than $20 on a single beauty item, and 14 percent have ponied up more than $50.ShopSmart found that store-brands save money.Wal-Mart had one of the best store-brand deals \u2014 the 6-ounce size of the retailer's Equate Refreshing Apricot Scrub, $1.97, cost 40 percent less than the same size of its brand-name equivalent, St.Ives Invigorating Apricot Scrub, $3.27.\u2014 Wal-Mart had the lowest\"brices on store-brand items and many name-brand items.If name-brand beauty products are a must, Wal-Mart had the lowest prices on these items most of the time.Wal-Mart store brands saved the most, with 33 percent savings over name brands.Target store brands saved 30 percent over name brands, and Walgreens and CVS store brands saved shoppers 29 percent and 27 percent, respectively.\u2014 Online bargains.Secret shoppers also checked out HarmonDiscount.com, the low-price winner in ShopSmart\u2019s last makeup price scan.Harmon carries a variety of name-brand cosmetics and skin care products at prices as much as 20 percent less than the chain drugstores, but it doesn\u2019t have as many store-brand equivalents as the other retailers, and free shipping requires a purchase of $50 or more.Fig 11 > If this feels like a math test, visit mathliteracy.ca or
