"What Did You Learn In School Today Around the World?" webinar
In 2006, the Canadian Education Association (CEA) adopted a focus on adolescent learners as its core priority As a result of this focus the initiative, What did you do in school today? was developed that examined the learning experiences of students across Canada. Transforming schools to improve student engagement and curriculum design is at the heart of the learning that stemmed from this initiative. "From CEA's standpoint, the process of transforming schools to improve learning will require a significant shift in our current designs for learning, the beliefs we hold about the purpose of schooling, and the knowledge we draw on to understand adolescent learning and development (CEA, 2006)."
Join colleagues from around the province, nation and world as they describe how they are personalizing education and engaging students through the use of available technologies.

"Tradigital Approach to Education" webinar
What is at the root of student engagement and how do we leverage technology in this process of engaging students in learning? It is vitally important that schools develop innovative, engaging curriculum to better prepare learners for the world they will face when they graduate. How can we, as educators, meet the needs of all learners and especially the at-risk learners? The development of approaches to re-engage the "lost" learner should be at the forefront of educational reform. As Kevin Honeycutt sums it up, "I travel the country speaking at conferences and working with educators at the grassroots level and I like to promote a "tradigital"* approach to education, which is a balance between past, present and future as we move education forward. Visit Kevin's blog on more information about the "tradigital" approach to education.
Join us as Kevin explains, explores and celebrates student engagement. In Kevin's word s, "I want to help every educator inspire every student to discover what it is that they are so passionate about that they become remarkable at it."

"Personalizing through UDL" webinar
The goal of education in the 21st century is not simply the mastery of content knowledge or use of new technologies. It is the mastery of the learning process.

Furthermore, as classrooms and schools become more connected to digital environments, what strategies need to be in place to ensure the safety of our students as well as our networks?
