In this hands-on session you’ll be introduced to TeachOntario, a new online community that supports sharing, collaboration and knowledge exchange among Ontario’s teachers. Hear from educators who are using the platform to create and share content, engage in discussion groups and contribute to the ever-growing, online community.
TeachOntario was created by TVO, in partnership with the Ontario Teachers’ Federation (OTF), its Affiliates and the Ministry of Education (EDU), and in consultation with teachers from a variety of districts across the province. This platform is for you! It’s for Ontario teachers, by Ontario teachers.
