Each month, we’ve selected a different theme encouraging people (like you!) to inspire your projects during our learning experiences. Here are some ideas on how you might combine your super powers and perspectives with technology throughout 2019:
A video game inspired by your findings on declining bee population
A piece of artwork to illustrate how we might learn in the future
A website to share your thoughts on food security in your community
A website to share your favourite ways to stay active in the winter season
An interactive story on how we might reduce food waste
A website to share your fun invention idea!

At this site coding is broken out into grade level activities. Lots of examples to explore.

Everything you need to participate in the Hour of Code in December can be found here!

"TakingITGlobal is launching Code to Learn@Home to continue to serve students during COVID-19 closures. In partnership with LCSI, Cisco, Fair Chance Learning, and with support from the Government of Canada, we're offering coding and computational thinking learning experiences for students of all ages."

You can find past live videos here to do at home (or at school!).

Codingville offers an easy and engaging way for students to learn coding/digital skills in a self-directed online environment.

Students and teachers will develop their coding/digital skills through Blockly coding. Blockly coding is a visual coding language where the user builds code by stacking ‘blocks’ together. These ‘blocks’ are chunks of code that can be translated into professional textual code, which is JavaScript. Students will learn how to code by using Blockly in a series of ‘Journeys’. Each journey culminates with a capstone project, and a final project that focuses on developing a web app. A journey is approximately 21 hours of content and is differentiated into specific grade groupings and skill sets: Grades 1-3 students, Grades 4-6 students and Grades 7-12 (middle/high school).

Students develop a ceremony to honor a person or commemorate an event in history.

You will have to join this site to use it. It is free.

"Courera is an American online learning platform founded by Stanford professors Andrew Ng and Daphne Koller that offers massive open online courses (MOOC), specializations, and degrees. ...

Some partners are also Canadian, including: Alberta Machine Intelligence Institute, McMaster U, University of Toronto - which are partners along side well recognized international higher learning institutions.

Courses are available in pretty much all areas of study including: data science, business, computer science, info tech, languages, math and logic, social sciences, health, arts and humanities, physical science and engineering, etc.

You can learn pretty much anything with these videos!

Science, History, Language Arts, & Study Skills, Games & More!

After discussing the differences between idols and heroes, students choose a real world hero and create media resources that celebrate and promote their actions.

Immerse yourself with a team of scientists, climbers, and Sherpa guides as they embark on an expedition that will help define our understanding of high-mountain environments. Experience the National Geographic and Rolex Perpetual Planet Everest Expedition, which was not simply a climb of the mountain, but a perilous adventure to learn how climate change is impacting the highest place on Earth.

Explore Learning offers 3 programs to support students learning at home:

Gizmos (Grades 3-12) Get hands-on with math and science.
Gizmos are online simulations that excite curiosity and invite interaction. We’ve got over 400 Gizmos in our library covering topics and concepts in math and science for grades 3-12. Gizmos help students dig deeper into subjects and really understand challenging concepts.

Reflex (Grades 2-6) When they use Reflex, kids love math.
Adaptive and individualized, Reflex is the most effective system for mastering basic math facts in addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.
Full of games that students love, Reflex takes students at every level and helps them quickly gain math fact fluency and confidence. And educators and parents love the powerful reporting that allows them to monitor progress and celebrate success.

Science4Us (Grades K-2) It’s never too early to learn science!
Science4Us covers Inquiry, Physical Science, Life Science and Earth & Space Science with lessons specifically designed for K-2 students. The sessions have 1000’s of online and offline activities that can be completed in as little as ten minutes, and teach students using videos, interaction, poems, songs, and digital notebooks.

This virtual field trip embedded within a Nearpod VR lesson uses real-world examples of geometry to help students analyze and design physical spaces.

As with all of the Nearpod VR lessons, this virtual field trip includes a teacher guide and student resources.
