Dr. Spence took to Twitter afterwards and posted a tweet about those kids - who happen to be in our class! I'm so proud of what we're doing and the leadership that is happening right now with some of our wonderful kids. A special shout out to Nicolas, Mathew W., Megan, Justin, and Phoebe who have gone out of their way to teach and share their knowledge.
Full steam ahead!
Below, find a copy of his Tweet. This validates what we're doing. Yeah!
Technology and Clairlea Public School
As we embrace technology at the TDSB, we'll be required to go through a cultural shift as educators - we'll need to change from being "knowledge givers" to "knowledge facilitators." I was so impressed to hear students at Clairlea have adopted teachers and are showing them how to blog. Today's students truly are digital natives and have been surrounded by and grown up in this digital culture. So why wouldn't we be learning from them? Developing and supporting the whole child is our overarching goal at the TDSB so it was great to hear how this school, with 507 students, has been able to generate specialty teachers for visual arts, drama, dance and physical education.-Director of Education Chris Spence
