Creacamp

This one day conference hosted at Collège Beaubois in collaboration with École Branché allowed partificapants to deep dive into one subject of their interests for one day. Each area had mentors to guide participants in an activity. I chose the makerspace activity and it began with a discussion on the impact the maker mouvement has had on Collège Beaubois and how this has been reflected on the teahcers and students.

My final creation was this on the laser cutter

AccesEDU

AccesEdu is a three day conference hosted a l'Académie Lafontaine on November 3rd to 5th 2017.


The first day we visited classrooms and saw the school in action, I had brought my HTC Vive Virtual Reality kit and shared with students at lunch time the wonder of VR.

A few resources to share from the conference.

Peergrade.io is a great platform that combined with Google Classroom allows you to have students peer edit other students work.

Spiral.ac is a collaborative platform that also integrates easily with Google Classroom offering you a bunch of neat tools much like edpuzzle and quickfire questions.

Julie Chanberland and Julie Chandonnet made us live a BreakoutEDU

Ever wanted to try Sketchnoting, Marie-André Ouimet is awesome and here is her website La folie du scketchnote 

We also were announced the launch of Ludoka by a group of teachers that demand change in our education system in Quebec, Pierre Gagnon spoke passionately about this project and I can't wait to see how it develops. http://www.ludoka.org/
