Events

Here is an opportunity for you to provide authentic, engaging and deep global learning for your students across the curriculum. Work with an exciting and unique platform called WorldVuze (worldvuze.com) to initiate conversations between students around the world.

You will explore the possibilities of this technology to bring diverse student perspectives to your discussions about core curriculum such as science and social studies as well as complex challenges such as climate change, conflict, clean water and urbanization. Hands-on sessions will highlight in-class case studies as well as strategies to integrate global learning as a regular part of your class.

You will have an opportunity to work with renowned educator Dr. Garfield Gini-Newman (Senior Lecturer at OISE/University of Toronto and National Senior Consultant at TC2) to learn and practice relevant pedagogical approaches from the Critical Thinking Consortium (tc2.ca). These scaffolds enhance critical, creative and collaborative thinking for all students. BSS educator Amanda Humphreys brings her many years of experience with project work to WorldVuze and will highlight examples of ways you can successfully integrate this platform in a variety of grades.

As well, WorldVuze founders, Julia Coburn and Ellen Palmer, will navigate you through the powerful uses of this platform and share case studies and initiatives from the students themselves.
