Switch on Learning (description)

At the Windsor-Essex Catholic District School Board, we are Switching on Learning by integrating Google’s powerful ecosystem into every classroom. This blog is a dedicated space for sharing the ideas, methodologies, and digital tools that transform the modern educational experience. Our Digital Toolkit We empower educators and students by leveraging a robust, collaborative environment: Google Workspace for Education: Driving seamless collaboration through Docs, Drive, and Classroom. The Power of AI: Utilizing Gemini and integrated AI features to personalize learning and spark creativity. Data-Driven Assessment: Using MarkBook to track student growth with precision and transparency. The Process of Learning: Leveraging Revision History to emphasize growth, iteration, and the visible journey of a student's work. From interactive Chrome tools to digital storytelling, we aren't just using tech—we’re using it to bridge gaps, foster global collaboration, and future-proof our students' skills.

Election Activities:

Looking for a fun way to introduce the May 2nd Federal Election as a topic in your classroom? Today we've added 2 new activities to the Bitstrips for Schools Library that will help get your students thinking and talking about the issues!

In the first activity, Campaign Promises, students make a comic starring their avatar as a candidate, announcing what they will do for Canada if they're elected on May 2nd. In the other, The Canadian Election, students show their familiarity with the issues by giving voice to each of the party leaders and explaining their campaign message. Both activities include template comics for your students to build from so they don't have to start their comics from scratch.

To assign either activity to your class, just log into your teacher account and look under Shared Activities in the Activities tab. You'll find them both on the first page near the top of the list.

Election Day is less than 2 weeks away, so be sure to assign your election activities in time!
