 WORKING TOGETHER

 

The aim of education must be the training of independently acting and thinking individuals who, however, can see in the service to the community their highest life achievement.

Are we acting, in education, as though we were still in the age of the book? 

 


 


 


GREAT CLASSROOM IDEA

 

Digital Storytelling

 

 

Cedar Secondary students created a movie trailer for a short story they read in English class.

 

Digital Storytelling meets a variety of instructional needs.  

Check out some of our favourites at our digital storytelling page and our Delicious Stack.  

 

Check out previous great idea:  infographics (visual representation of information) in the classroom and foldables (interactive, three-dimensional, student-made graphic organizers).
