As a teaching medium in the digital age, École branchée develops and maintains an independent network enabling initiatives from the entire educational ecosystem (teachers / directors / professionals, public / private, primary / secondary, French-speaking / English-speaking) to meet in order to: - promote the development and appropriation of current pedagogical and educational practices, in particular through digital technology; - promote education, school and the teaching profession.

L'École branchée (online): ISSN 2368-058X Posted in Stoneham-et-Tewkesbury (QC, Canada) Since 1996!
The " Education Infobourg »Was the precursor of this whole adventure. This website was created in April 1996, at the initiative of Clément Laberge (then a high school teacher) and André Girard (then a professor at Cégep de Sainte-Foy). At the time of its creation, the Infobourg's mission was already to promote "the educational resources of the Quebec infobourg". See here a memory of July 10, 1997!
At the colloquiumAQUOPS, in April 1996, the Infobourg map presented 140 Quebec websites related to the world of education. After the creation of the September media company, a book, the Infoduct, completed this poster in 1997 by establishing quality criteria for an educational website. And it was shortly after, in April 1998, that the publication of the review began. Chronicles of the Infobourg, become the École branchée in April 2000.
Between 2000 and 2012, Infobourg is edited by Brand, a company specializing in the distribution of educational resources and digital books. Its editorial direction has been entrusted to Audrey Miller from 2002 to 2004, to Martine Rioux from 2004 to 2010, then to Catherine Houle in 2011. A little later in the year, it's Nathalie Cote who succeeded him, with the occasional participation of Julie beaupre until the end of the 2012 school year.
During the 2012 summer vacation, another page of history was turned. Indeed, De Marque has sold the brands École branchée, Infobourg, SCOOP! and Picto at the non-profit organization École branchée and EngagED Learning, newly led on a mainly volunteer basis by Audrey Miller (who finally became the first full-time employee on July 2, 2018!). In March 2015, the site Infobourg.com officially gave way to Ecolebranchee.com, at the same time harmonizing the activities of the print magazine and the online magazine.
It was in 2017, following a meeting between École branchée and passionate teachers from Mont-Saint-Sacrement high school (Maxime Pelchat, Pierre-Olivier Cloutier and Sarah Shallow-Tardif), that training continued CréaCamp was born. The first edition took place on May 18, 2017. In 2017-2018, no less than five other editions took place. In 2018-2019, we went to 10 annual editions! It is also in 2017, during the REFER, that were shot the first Educational meetings, a series of meetings with inspiring players in the world of education.
On November 29, 2018, the new service École branchée on the family is launched. It aims to support parents in the digital world and facilitate communication between them and teachers around the success and development of young people.
Our team also has plenty of other ideas for the future! Thanks to authors of the site and our precious partners! … And to all the employees who contribute by their texts and opinions to enrich the educational Web in this digital age!
