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.
Easter Eggs for Christmas
An Easter Egg in the computer world is a hidden feature found in software. Here are a few examples that are brought to you by the Google (Youtube is owned by Google now too)
1. Do a Google search for "let it snow" (no quotations) and it begins to snow. Don't forget to click on Defrost!
2. This one was recently circulating in the interwebs. Do a Google search "do a barrel roll" (no quotations). Try not to get nauseous.
3. A simpler version of #2 is to search for "tilt" (no quotations).
4. And just so I don't waste too much more of your free time, in Youtube when you are watching a video, while in Play or Pause mode, simultaneously hit the left and up arrow keys and play the classic game of centipede using the arrow keys.
Note, however, that these particular features do not seem to work within our board's Internet. So they won't work at school but they should be fine at home. Happy Easter Egg hunting.
