The making of a literary trailer allows to transmit one's taste for reading. Inspired by the codes of the cinematographic universe, the realization of a short video promoting a book aims at arousing curiosity and giving the desire to read a book. The conception of a scenario, the creation of a video from images or photos, the choice of an adequate music and the broadcasting will be approached in this creative workshop which will eventually allow your students to approach literature in a different way.
Antidote is a wonderful tool for revising written French, but you have to know how to use it properly to maximize its potential. Antidote is not only a proofreader, it is also a very complete dictionary, a thesaurus and a mine of information for lovers of the French language (etymology, co-occurrences, regionalisms, famous quotes, and more).
Through a fun training session, discover the possibilities, but also the limits, of this software that is now a must for improving French.
Memes have been part of popular culture for a few years. Beyond entertainment, their educational power should not be underestimated.
Indeed, the creation of memes by a teacher allows him/her to revitalize and update his/her approach to the mastery of the French language. In the same spirit, getting students to create their own meme encourages them to approach language mastery from a playful angle rather than a punitive one, as is too often the case.
This practice implies a creative process, but also a metacognitive aspect that leads students to approach their relationship with the French language differently.
The Booktube, or BookTok, is a new way to combine reading and video for a new kind of literary criticism! In fact, it is about producing a video that meets certain criteria while developing a reading review of an article, a comic book, a novel, etc. During this training, you will learn the main characteristics of a Booktube/BookTok as well as the different platforms that can help you produce them with your students.
During this training, the participants will be in the exchange and the action in order to develop their relationship of coeducation in the digital era. They will be equipped to propose to parents the use of a parent-child contract. In this way, the actions implemented at school will be supported by those of the parents at home.
The parent-child contract promotes the establishment of positive rules of life in the digital age and acts on the autonomy of young people towards healthy lifestyle habits.
Over the last few decades, we have moved from ICT, information and communication technologies, to digital and its thousand and one possibilities. With its rules, codes and standards, "digital" is more complex to master. It represents a real language that everyone must now learn to master. Despite the passing years, inequalities and myths persist. Discover surprising statistics and see why it is necessary to take the next step.
Video is a powerful storytelling medium, and technology has advanced to a point where we can use our phones to produce high-quality videos and edit them using an iPad or laptop. Take control of your silver screen by delving into the video features and learning about the tools we can use to help tell your story.
Visual-based coding is a great way to introduce our students to the world of programming. Storytelling using this tool is an effective way to introduce coding and learn problem-solving skills. Scratch is a visual programming language platform allowing us to compose our own story using visuals, motion, text, and audio. Learn how you can integrate coding with language, math, and art to engage and empower students.
We may take a lot of time trying to find the right resource to use in our classroom to teach a concept, and still might not find exactly what we want. Fortunately, we have tools enabling us to create dynamic digital assets and use them in our slides and videos. Co-creating resources with our students during a lesson can help our students visualize abstract concepts and provide them with meaningful learning content that they can build on while teaching them how to create their own dynamic content. Keynote (iPad or Mac) can be used to create animated GIFs, animations and video content to engage and enhance communication and the learning experience.
Evaluation is a hot topic these days! Come and hear about the successes and challenges of Sylvie Boutin, former principal of l'Accueil de Scott, a flagship school of the CAR project, whose team changed the way she sees and applies evaluation in her environment. What to put in place? How to support teachers in their situation? How do you prepare parents for such a change? And as a manager, what posture should I adopt? This is an appointment to discuss with a passionate person who, through her experience, will be able to help you initiate the change too!
Supporting all of our students in their learning is both challenging and rewarding. We can utilize technology to help our students communicate their ideas in a manner that is efficient, effective and authentic. Apple designs its products with accessibility in mind. Learn how we can leverage the built-in accessibility tools and native Apple apps to help our students learn and share their ideas.
One of the biggest issues in teaching is time. Let's look at some tips on how to balance professional and personal tasks while having a sense of accomplishment without being out of breath at the end of the school year. Several management tips will be presented, as well as ways to organize with the help of digital tools. It's time to think about your time budget and strategies to save time and finally get a break!
Digital technology can support literacy development in many ways in the classroom! This learning activity will explore how to leverage it to help students find books, share their impressions of their reading, build a community of readers, learn more about their book preferences, benefit from diversity in their reading choices, keep track of their reading, benefit from reading aids, improve their reading strategies, and... encourage reading in general.
We will also discuss different ways to implement these activities in the classroom using digital tools such as digital books, online reading platforms, reading apps and social networks dedicated to reading.
Developing creativity is an essential 21st century skill. Whether it's finding original solutions to a problem or presenting results effectively, developing creativity helps to articulate one's thinking and opens up avenues of communication.
In this workshop, learn how Apple's tools and applications enable teachers and students to develop and express their creativity. See how KeyNote, Numbers, Pages, Photos and Clips can be used to create stimulating and relevant curriculum-related activities and learning situations.
*This workshop can be adapted for a specific subject or offered to all.
The iPad tablet is a must-have tool for teaching and learning science in elementary and secondary schools. A host of free, native apps allow teachers and students to observe scientific phenomena, collect data, analyze it, and share it. In this workshop, participants will experience science activities that they can then better pilot or adapt for their students. Thanks to the portability of the tablet, students and teachers can be active learners, both in the real and figurative sense!
This workshop presents learning and assessment situations that give students a lot of flexibility. Learn how digital communication and outreach tools can help imagine, create and design unique and creative projects. Then track your students' progress and provide effective feedback. Finally, get students more involved in their assessment process by collecting their perceptions of their learning and that of their peers.
Creativity takes on forms as varied as the diversity of students in a classroom. Einstein himself defined it as the intelligence that has fun! In this conference, let's have fun glimpsing its incredible avenues as a driver of skill development. Afterwards, it will be easy to see how "everything is in everything"!
