Welcome to our Summer Professional Learning Edition of the CanAm EdTech Report.
I'm most grateful for having taken our first family vacation to Mont Tremblant, Quebec since the pandemic. It was most memorable! I've come back feeling energized, having had the opportunity to recharge and disconnect. The trip also spurred a few innovative and new program ideas for MindShare which was a bonus! A BIG takeaway is that environment and mindset play a BIG part in learning and growing!
After the unprecedented year it's been, I hope you are able to take some time to enjoy the outdoors and catchup with family and friends and focus on your well-being.
With in class teaching expected to return to some sense of normalcy in September, we are excited to share this special professional learning issue that our team helped curate with some great resources.
Issue Highlights:
- Educator Melissa Burns Featured Podcast: Canada's Schools of the Future Challenge Winner Shares her journey with students to designing a school of the future in Minecraft, infusing the UN's SDGs.
