As technology continues to transform education, the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and cybersecurity into teaching practices has become increasingly essential. École branchée and Engaged Learning Magazine recently conducted four virtual bilingual workshops for English Montreal School Board (EMSB) aimed at raising awareness of the challenges educators face in the digital era.
Engaged Learning, the periodical about education in the digital age, has just released its winter issue. Available now, it highlights the importance of fundamental skills (reading, writing, mathematics) and explores how digital tools can support their development.
In this article, Stacy Anne Allen examines the dual impacts of artificial intelligence (AI) in the educational sector. While AI streamlines tasks like lesson planning and differentiation, its significant environmental footprint raises concerns. Allen details how AI data centers consume vast energy and resources, contributing to greenhouse gas emissions and electronic waste. She advocates for balancing innovation with sustainability by integrating discussions on AI’s environmental impacts into curricula.
At the recent Canadian Edtech Leadership Summit, West Vancouver School District Superintendent Chris Kennedy shared his vision of integrating artificial intelligence (AI) into schools. He encourages teachers to familiarize themselves with AI technologies by using them personally, before implementing them in the learning environment, to increase engagement. In British Columbia, a flexible approach to AI in education allows school districts to tailor their policies. According to Chris Kennedy, promoting the sharing of innovative practices instead of their replication fosters an educational system that can adapt to change.
Cybersecurity is more than just a tech topic—it’s an essential skill for students and educational stakeholders alike. Brilliant Labs has compiled a directory of valuable cybersecurity education resources to empower teachers, students, and parents to navigate the digital world safely.
In a recent virtual event hosted by Engaged Learning (recording available here), experts from the English Montreal School Board (EMSB), Caroline Dupuis and Julian Taylor, discussed the critical importance of cybersecurity education in schools.
The relationship between students and their teachers plays a crucial role in academic success, especially for younger children. However, the quality of this relationship can vary based on factors such as gender, economic background, and student behaviour.
Building positive relationships, setting clear behavioural expectations, and implementing targeted interventions are essential strategies for educators striving for effective behaviour management. While you may already be using many of these techniques instinctively, here are some additional insights from Nancy Roy Halun, a principal in Alberta.
