This site offers a reading and writing initiative that connects authors with readers.
Teachers can use this site to make reading and writing more relevant to their students. No matter the grade, LitPick could be a great fit for an independent reading activity. Students can read the reviews of books for free and can sign up as reviewers, request books that interest them to review, and then publish reviews as the culminating assessment. LitPick also supports a book group experience. In this model, an entire classroom can join LitPick as one group, and teachers can monitor the group from a dashboard. Students can all read and review the same book, or choose different ones. There's also an option to do video reviews, which might be good for older students as a way to extend learning beyond the written review.

> QU’EST-CE QUE L’ÉCOLE DE L’OCÉAN?
L’Université Dalhousie et l’Ocean Frontier Institute se sont associés avec l’Office national du film pour créer École de l’Océan, une expérience d’apprentissage par enquête gratuite et innovante.
À l’École de l’Océan, les apprenants explorent les habitats des fonds marins du golfe du Saint-Laurent au moyen de la réalité virtuelle. Ils se prennent en photo avec une baleine grandeur nature en réalité augmentée et dissèquent une morue virtuelle. Ils apprennent l’histoire de la morue racontée par un artiste autochtone dans une animation originale. Des vidéos à 360° les transportent dans des endroits qu’ils ne pourraient jamais visiter autrement, comme des forêts de kelp ou une île tropicale située à 550 kilomètres au large de la côte pacifique du Costa Rica.
L’expérience de l’École de l’Océan commence par une grande question posée aux élèves — un défi qui oriente leur enquête. Chaque élément média est accompagné d’une activité personnalisable que les enseignants peuvent attribuer par Google Classroom ou télécharger aux fins d’utilisation en classe. À la fin de chaque module, les apprenants élaborent un plan d’action visant à résoudre les problèmes sociaux et environnementaux auxquels ils ont été sensibilisés.
L'École de l’Océan donne à la prochaine génération de citoyens de l’Océan, de chercheurs et d’innovateurs les connaissances et les outils pour explorer et concevoir des solutions innovantes aux problèmes urgents auxquels font face les océans de la planète.

Si vous en êtes à votre première visite à l'École de l'Océan, vous devrez créer et confirmer votre compte ONF.
Cette ressource propose des moyens pour que les élèves s'interrogent et explorent divers sujets liés à la production, à la distribution et à la conservation de l'énergie, ainsi qu'aux considérations éthiques, sociales et environnementales qui y sont associées. En apprenant ce qui entre dans l'alimentation d'une province, il est espéré que les élèves commenceront également un parcours pour découvrir la valeur de l'électricité dans leur vie et le rôle qu'ils peuvent jouer pour en utiliser moins.
«Cette ressource a été développée pour fournir aux enseignants les informations les plus récentes sur l'électricité en Saskatchewan. Comme l'industrie électrique évolue constamment et que les réglementations et les innovations influent sur de nouvelles orientations, il est important que les enseignants disposent d'informations à jour à partager avec les élèves.
Dans la mesure du possible, les enseignants sont redirigés vers le site web de SaskPower, car il contient le contenu le plus actuel. Les documents pour les élèves seront mis à jour annuellement, mais en cas de divergence entre la version imprimée et le site web, veuillez vous référer au contenu sur saskpower.com.
Cette ressource a été développée par SaskPower avec la contribution d'éducateurs qui ont fourni des idées précieuses, des commentaires et leur expertise.»
