SATELLITE IS A NEW

TEACHING METHOD.

xperiencing a different method of

teaching and learning, the students in

the division of business interacted

with some state-of-the-art technology.

The department had definitely been

keeping up with the trends of modern technol­

ogy to educate and enlighten the students.

Living in Pennsylvania, Dr. John Cassidy,

Chair of the Division of Business Studies,

worked for Graco Children Products, Inc. At

the same time he was able to communicate

with his college students in Clearwater. In or­

der to send both live visual images and the

voice of Dr. Cassidy, the department used a

high-tech electronic system composed of a

television, six phone lines, a type of modem,

and a satellite. This allowed Dr. Cassidy to be

in two places at once.

While the students grasped the concepts of

business and finances, they experienced the

modern technology of the electronic world.

Sarah Stewart comments, "It's a trendy, new

method to teaching."
