ONLINE AND BLENDED LEARNING
Socializing At A Distance
In online classes at LEARN, we are experts at socializing while physically distanced. Forget 2 metres… some of our students are separated by thousands of kilometres – northwestern Quebec to les Îles de la Madeleine, for example.
Two tools that we use to allow our students to interact and learn about each other, even when in different schools, are Twitter Chats and Forums. Discover some of the archived blog posts from our LEARNers about using Twitter in the classroom on our website.

SCRATCHED MEETUP
What is A ScratchEd Meetup?
Join us for the Québec Scratch Educator Meetup on Friday, January 22, 2021 at 2:30PM. ScratchEd Meetups are peer-designed professional learning experiences inspired by the unconference model. This means that at any given event, you decide what your learning looks like! At a Meetup, you can share, create, and learn with other educators who are also passionate about teaching with Scratch in the classroom. Anyone who is interested in connecting with fellow educators and learning more about using Scratch in educational settings is welcome to participate.
Sound intriguing? We hope to see you soon!
(Our Meetups are bilingual.)
