When the final bell rings, not everything stops in teachers’ minds. There are still emails, students they are worried about, unfinished tasks, and ideas for September. What if, this summer, the real challenge was not to “make the most of” summer break, but to create the conditions needed to return truly rested? Here is what the research says.
A recent study published by the International Observatory on the Societal Impacts of AI and Digital Technologies raises important concerns for education. Just as schools are beginning to adapt to generative AI tools, a new wave is already emerging: agentic AI. For teachers and educational consultants, the study highlights growing concerns about “cognitive substitution” and the urgent need to train students in the responsible use of AI.
After several years in development, Québec’s National Institute for Excellence in Education has officially begun operations. During a recent webinar, its president and CEO, Lucien Maltais, presented the organization’s mission and priority initiatives, which aim to use research to support classroom practice while respecting teachers’ professional autonomy.
The joy of learning is often discussed in education, yet it is rarely clearly defined. Caught between the desire to make learning engaging and the risk of reducing it to mere entertainment, many educators are searching for the right balance. For researcher Jean-François Desbiens, joy in education is neither spectacle nor an easy reward—it is something that must be intentionally designed and thoughtfully cultivated.
Cybersecurity is becoming a classroom issue, not just an IT department concern. Engaged Learning’s “My Online Safety” series brings together resources to help teachers address online risks, artificial intelligence, misinformation and safe digital habits with students.
Online, it’s easy to make assumptions about someone… but are they always accurate? In these activities, students will learn that what we see doesn’t tell the whole story. They will explore how digital identity is created and how our judgments can sometimes be misleading.
Teaching cybersecurity in schools is now essential. Discover practical strategies to help students navigate AI, misinformation, and digital risks with critical thinking and confidence, plus a reflection tool—School Cybersecurity Maturity Self-Assessment—and a quiz for high school students: Do you have strong online safety habits?
Each issue of the magazine features a selection of resources to discover.
What if the classroom became a studio where every student could find their voice? Audrey Miller of Engaged Learning explores podcasting as a space for authentic expression where students learn to question, narrate, and create. More than a technopedagogical project, podcasting becomes a powerful lever for developing ideas, strengthening communication, and giving students the confidence to speak and be heard.
As students grow older, the legal freedoms and responsibilities they acquire also evolve — but these changes aren’t always clear to young learners. To help bridge that gap, Éducaloi and LEARN’s Educators platform are offering a free virtual workshop series titled “Are You Old Enough?” for Québec classrooms in April–May 2026.
