Follow the link to the Google Play or Apple Store to download the Release App for Mindfulness. This app was created by Keynote Speaker Trinna Markusson at iLearn & SWTA for 2020.

"This new wellness app incorporates mindfulness and tapping techniques to help empower you to begin to deal with daily stress, difficult emotions and limiting beliefs that can hold you back from living your best life! With categories for adults, teens, kids, classroom use and a special high-performance category for athletes, Release can help you to stay present and to live with more peace and ease."

Welcome to Relevance 2024 by the Saskatoon Industry Education Council. We’ve packed peer profiles, career spotlights, career exploration resources, an updated Job Chart and more into this year’s magazine. Our theme for 2024 is Limitless—not because jobs are infinite. Your future is limitless because it’s all in front of you, your journey is just starting. Our updated Job Chart highlights the latest stats on over 250 jobs, from wages to job prospects to educational paths. We’ve turned a spotlight on career options in health care and art-focused careers. You’ll also find links to resources on essential skills, apprenticeship, scholarships, virual reality training and moe. Your future awaits - enjoy exploring the limitelss possiblities.

Today we’re turning our sociological eye to another major social institution: religion. We’ll use symbolic interactionism to help us understand the dichotomy of the Sacred vs. the Profane. We’ll compare the perspectives of structural functionalists and conflict theorists on whether religion improves social cohesiveness or increases social stratification. We’ll also explore how religious practice in the US differs across race and class lines.

Rising seas and coastal erosion are eating away at the barrier island on which the Alaska Native Village of Kivalina rests. Residents and others are making concerted efforts to move the community to safety.

Introducing your students to art is a great way to inspire, evoke curiosity, and encourage deeper conversations about the world around us. Remai Modern offers resources and activities specially designed for educators and students to help kickstart a lifelong appreciation and love of art. Remai Modern has two educational experiences for teachers to explore:

Select a Highlights Tour, featuring not-to-be-missed objects currently on view; or a Picasso Tour, with a focus on our collection of Picasso linocuts and ceramic works in historic and modern context.

Connecting exhibitions to curriculum needs of teachers and students, Remai Modern School Tours demonstrate that art crosses disciplines and is relevant to daily life.

In these tours, students can: Compare and contrast original works of art and build critical viewing skills,
Understand the ideas of a wide variety of professional historical and contemporary art/artists, Practice inquiry-based and hands-on learning, and Develop a lifelong appreciation for art.

Secondly, Book a Remai Modern Online Workshop!
Remai Modern’s online art workshops build on the success of the museum’s in-person programs for students. Workshops promote informal learning through viewing, discussing, and making art and create chances for students to better understand themselves, their peers, and their community.

Fostering Remembrance is a part of everything The Legion does. Through The Royal Canadian Legion's longstanding Annual Poster and Literary Contests, Canadian school children honour Canada’s Veterans through creative art and writing, and help perpetuate Remembrance.

Contests are available for students 5 to 18 for posters (colour & black and white), essays and and now a video entry category as well.

You can find links to the entry forms (one must be attached and signed by a parent to each entry), contest guide and entry forms on the site as well.

This choice board is created for K-9 students. The activities vary in ideas that range from art projects, spoken word, songs, virtual war museum, and primary source stories.

"This module provides resources to deliver engaging discussions, lessons and ceremonies. It can be used in the classroom, at home, or in the community to commemorate the service and sacrifices of Canada’s military personnel."

Browse the collection of objects, videos, activities and historical overviews.

Generously supported by the Royal Canadian Legion Dominion Command and the Friends of the Canadian War Museum.

Indigenous people have a long and proud tradition of military service in Canada. From the earliest days before Canada was even a country of its own, through through the First and Second World Wars, the Korean War, post-war peace support efforts, Afghanistan and on to the present day, thousands of First Nations, Métis, Inuit and other Indigenous men and women have served bravely and well in uniform.

Building on what they learned about wired and wireless electrical connections in the associated lesson, students use Android phones to take advantage of Bluetooth wireless connections to remotely guide LEGO MINDSTORMS(TM) NXT robots through a maze. They compare this wireless remote control navigation to their previous experiences navigating LEGO robots via programming. A PowerPoint® presentation and pre/post quizzes are provided.

This site offers self-paced math missions and online game shows for students. Available both online AND offline. Grades: K-12. Free premium version available during the coronavirus school closures.

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.

A quantitative illustration of how non-renewable resources are depleted while renewable resources continue to provide energy. Students remove beads (units of energy) from a bag (representing a country). A certain number of beads are removed from the bag each "year." At some point, no non-renewable beads remain. Student groups have different ratios of renewable and non-renewable energy beads. A comparison of the remaining beads and time when they ran out of energy shows the value of utilizing a greater proportion of renewable resources as a sustainable energy resources.

In this lesson, students are introduced to the types of renewable energy resources. They are involved in activities to help them understand the transformation of energy (solar, water and wind) into electricity. Students explore the different roles of engineers working in renewable energy fields.

Students are introduced to renewable energy, including its relevance and importance to our current and future world. They learn the mechanics of how wind turbines convert wind energy into electrical energy and the concepts of lift and drag. Then they apply real-world technical tools and techniques to design their own aerodynamic wind turbines that efficiently harvest the most wind energy. Specifically, teams each design a wind turbine propeller attachment. They sketch rotor blade ideas, create CAD drawings (using Google SketchUp) of the best designs and make them come to life by fabricating them on a 3D printer. They attach, test and analyze different versions and/or configurations using a LEGO wind turbine, fan and an energy meter. At activity end, students discuss their results and the most successful designs, the aerodynamics characteristics affecting a wind turbine's ability to efficiently harvest wind energy, and ideas for improvement. The activity is suitable for a class/team competition. Example 3D rotor blade designs are provided.

Students use real-world data to evaluate various renewable energy sources and the feasibility of implementing these sources. Working in small groups, students use data from the Renewable Energy Living Lab to describe and understand the way the world works. The data is obtained through observation and experimentation. Using the living lab gives students and teachers the opportunity to practice analyzing data to solve problems or answer questions, in much the same way that scientists and engineers do every day.
