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.
Today I had the pleasure to visit St. Rose Catholic Elementary school today and was able to participate in some of their class work using Makey Makey. Makey Makey is a program board that allows our students to interact with a computer in a very simple but creative way. In no time students are bringing to life their own creations by adding audio to their own instruments, or sound effects to personal works of art for example.
Rather than write about it I created a quick video to show you some of the really exciting activities going on at St. Rose in a grade 3 class! Thank you, Mrs Sidi for allow me to visit and Mrs Clement for the invite.
This is only the beginning....
More from Makey Makey
Grade 3 classes that have chosen to participate in the Board Robotics program will be receiving a Makey Makey for their school!
