This Week in Canadian EdTech MindshareTV Podcast in honour of Teacher Appreciation Week with Angela Maiers Best Selling Author, Keynoter & Founder, Choose2matter, 

As we celebrate educators in honour of #teacherappreciationweek, each of you provides us hope for the future of learning beyond the pandemic. 

 

Teachers are the drivers of innovation in the classroom whose ingenuity and creativity has enabled sustained learning in all forms to help students thrive in the most challenging circumstances. Technology has found its place, especially during the pandemic as a conduit and accelerator to learning.

 

Hence, a tip of the hat to all the awesome and inspirational teachers who have stepped up to make it happen. You truly matter. Thank You!

 

As this is our CanAm edition, we're thrilled to share insights and inspiration from both sides of the border as to how world-class learning is happening in new and innovative ways across North America.
