LEARN Web Events allowed subject-matter specialists, teachers, consultants & administrators to come together to investigate topics that are of interest to them. Using our online platform, educators from anywhere connected, shared and learned. Each month, a new live web event was scheduled with a completely different focus and target audience.

If you missed one... we've got you covered! Check out the archived web events (up to 2017) below and feel free to share your favourites with your esteemed colleagues.

Playing with Poetry

In this interactive and hands-on hour, teachers will come away with numerous methods to bring playful poetry into their English Language Arts curriculum. Geared for the elementary classroom, this session encourages and exposes the power and passion that poetry possesses. Participants will read, write and share a vast array of poems guaranteed to promote a love of words and wordplay. This is important since merely whispering "poetry" frightens almost everyone away.
