During the Pro D-Day I attended two online sessions discussing AI and Education “NFB K-12: More than Just Great Canadian Films!”, and “The Digital Classroom for K-12 Teacher-Librarians & Leads”. I really enjoyed the first session and found it to be the most useful. The NFB is the National Film Board of Canada. It has so many resources for education, I was blown away. I will definitely be using this site in the future. https://www.nfb.ca/education/?_gl=1*17u4e1y*_gcl_au*MTEyMzU5NzI0LjE3NzEwMTc3ODU.*_ga*MTQ4NDc1MzcxMS4xNzcxMDE3Nzg1*_ga_0CLQ31X8KS*czE3NzIxNDEwNTIkbzQkZzEkdDE3NzIxNDEwNjckajQ1JGwwJGgw*_ga_EP6WV87GNV*czE3NzIxNDEwNTIkbzQkZzEkdDE3NzIxNDEwNjckajQ1JGwwJGgw. These lessons even have activities. Heres one resource I found on the website for science, https://oceanschool.nfb.ca/collection/the-biological-carbon-pump-collection. This lesson is a part of NFB’s Ocean School that’s goal is to create Ocean literate citizens. https://oceanschool.nfb.ca. It has so many great lessons and you can sort by grade, subject, and time.
The indigenous studies section has a bunch of awesome lessons. I found the seminar itself to be super interesting and engaging, the presenter was prepared and the technology worked well. The presenter also did a really good job at walking us through the website and its capabilities. The second session I attended was also cool but I didn’t find it anywhere near as impactful or useful. The presenter also wasn’t sharing their screen so nobody could see what she was doing, this made it kinda hard to follow along. From what I heard it was a lot of stuff we’ve already heard about in class and other seminars.
