From Classroom to ZoomRoom - Secondary
So you have your lesson plans from last year...but how do you translate those experiences into the virtual arena? Instead of re-inventing the wheel, let's see what we can draw from the corporate training world. This workshop will explore tips, strategies, and online applications that will help you create engaging learning experiences online, without starting from scratch.

Teach VIRTUALLY Anything - Building Online Capacity for Junior Teachers - Grades 4-5
Do you want to build your capacity to deliver curriculum using online technology? Join me in my virtual PD session ‘Teach VIRTUALLY Anything - Building Online Capacity for Junior Teachers’. We will explore the development of inclusive online teaching platforms at the junior level, as well as explore the pedagogical principles of SAMR and differentiated instruction, to lead to increased online learning and engagement for our students through deep and meaningful connections to the Ontario curriculum. This PD session will involve both a theoretical and a practical component where we will learn how to build a virtual room to use with students.

Online Scaffolding with K - 12 Teachers on their Current Science Inquiry - Grades 4-12
With the current pandemic crisis, doing sciences online may promote building authentic investigative skills in students. Using more discussions in Breakout Groups, teachers will present their ideas/strategies that they have begun or will begin soon. Possible resources for accessing General Sciences/ Biology/Chemistry/Physics materials and mentorship opportunities will be discussed for intermediate/senior students. Teachers will collaborate in breakout groups on their current strategies, preferably in their teaching panels (i.e., k-3, 4-6, 7-8 and 9-12). This part 2 workshop presents further opportunities for classroom teachers to collaborate in developing more inquiry teaching strategies. Collaborative discussions may include, assessing their procedures/methods, interpreting data, applying solutions and presenting their findings via online platforms. At the end of this session, teachers will leave with more shared and improved ideas to mentor their students’ current class projects. This builds on Introduction to Online Inquiry-based Science Projects: Part 1 on Oct 27 or Oct 29.
