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.

Coding to Learn

Learning to code has become an increasingly popular activity for children. This is a good trend. We feel, however, that one of the most powerful reasons for learning to code is undervalued. That reason is to be able to use code to learn. To learn art, to learn math, to learn science. Computer science is wonderful but there are so many other things that can be learned with the help of coding.
