what’s a teacher to do?

Teachers continue to articulate their desire to increase their knowledge and expertise in the area of Information Communication Technology (ICT).

The goal of the conference was to inform teachers on current ICT using an inquiry-based approach. Teachers of all grades and subjects had the opportunity to examine ways to deepen student learning through technology-enhanced critical inquiry. Participants were provided with the opportunity to become fluent in specific technologies and left with ideas and practical examples on how they can effectively apply the technologies in their classroom practice.

The facilitators for the conference were Will Richardson and Garfield Gini-Newman. OTF again partnered with the Educational Computing Organization of Ontario (ECOO). ECOO members offered technical support and ran the Minds on Media program on the third day.
