Motivating Through Technology to Inspire Reading, Writing and Counting

The Winter Issue of Engaged Learning Magazine is About Key Skills for Sustainable Success!

STONEHAM-ET-TEWKESBURY (QC) December 1st, 2024 – 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.

Difficulties in reading, writing and numeracy have a serious impact on the motivation of young learners and play a decisive role in preventing them from dropping out of school, according to Anne Lessard of the Université de Sherbrooke. Combining the learning of these essential skills with the thoughtful use of digital tools is a winning formula for many teachers, enabling differentiated learning paths and promoting inclusion, for example.

This issue brings together examples of innovative teaching practices and proposes applications that have the potential to engage students in their learning and maintain their motivation, for lasting success.

The winter 2024-2025 issue of Engaged Learning is available in print and digital formats, in both English and French. To purchase it or to learn more about subscription options, visit the website at: https://engaged-learning.com
