The publication Remembering the Children and this complementary educator’s guide were designed to help students achieve the following goals: • gain a more complex understanding of the history and reality of residential schools in Canada, recognizing that children who attended Residential Schools, day schools, industrial schools and boarding schools had their own unique experiences and that these experiences varied across the country and across time • gain an appreciation for Indigenous knowledge and the diversity of traditional cultures, languages and teachings of First Nations, Inuit and Métis communities • understand the depth of loss that occurred as a result of the Residential School system • learn about contemporary people and organizations who are engaged in cultural revitalization efforts • understand that they have an individual and collective role in reconciliation Students and teachers all over Canada will be at different stages of learning. We hope that the Remembering the Children publication and educator’s guide provide you with content, resources, voices and ideas so that you can continue these important conversations all year long. With appreciation to all educators who are taking on this important work

In which John Green teaches you about the European Renaissance. European learning changed the world in the 15th and 16th century, but was it a cultural revolution, or an evolution? We'd argue that any cultural shift that occurs over a couple of hundred years isn't too overwhelming to the people who live through it. In retrospect though, the cultural bloom in Europe during this time was pretty impressive. In addition to investigating what caused the Renaissance and who benefitted from the changes that occurred, John will tell you just how the Ninja Turtles got mixed up in all this.

Replication (re-running studies to confirm results) and reproducibility (the ability to repeat an analyses on data) have come under fire over the past few years. The foundation of science itself is built upon statistical analysis and yet there has been more and more evidence that suggests possibly even the majority of studies cannot be replicated. This "replication crisis" is likely being caused by a number of factors which we'll discuss as well as some of the proposed solutions to ensure that the results we're drawing from scientific studies are reliable.

Today, we’re going to take a look at how computers use a stream of 1s and 0s to represent all of our data - from our text messages and photos to music and webpages. We’re going to focus on how these binary values are used to represent numbers and letters, and discuss how our need to perform operations on larger and more complex values brought us from our 8-bit video games to beautiful Instagram photos, and from unreadable garbled text in our emails to a universal language encoding scheme.

For each grade level, a suggested set of I can statements has also been developed. Below is an example from Grade 1:
Grade One Social and Ethical Use of Digital Technologies I can take turns when I use a digital technology (e.g. computer, tablet, etc.). I can show care when using digital technology. Research and Inquiry I can use question starter words (e.g. 5 Ws) to guide my online searches. I can read visuals from digital technologies to discover information (e.g. SmartBoard images, images from the internet). I can begin to use multi-media sources to locate information (e.g. use audio from online story or CD).
