Using Technology to Collaborate with Industry Experts - November 15, 2019
Can you think of a time where your lesson would have been more impactful by having a guest in your class talking about their experience? Want to learn best practices around how to identify and reach out to industry experts to speak to your class? Want to learn to use video-conferencing tools like Skype to integrate remote professionals seamlessly into the classroom?
Learn all this on November 15, 2019 at a full-day workshop for teams of teachers. Subs costs are covered, and lunch is included.
The WHY:
Let's work to impact our learning outcomes more deeply, and effectively. Building relationships with and utilizing industry professionals from all sectors adds value to student learning. Alongside these professionals, we can easily illustrate the practical use of classroom content. What can we do when we unlock the experts, connecting business, legislation, and school with the practical nature of learning outcomes?

The HOW:
The morning session will cover an initial where and when we can implement specific tools and resources for accessing industry professionals. It will also cover video-conferencing best practices. We will then define what the tools are and how to use them.
After lunch (provided by Tech Manitoba), we will work both individually and in groups to practice and propose methods of implementing these new skills into your lessons / projects.
Time will be allotted to discuss and work on real-world examples. You will leave with the ability to apply these skills into your lessons immediately.
