Healthy Confusion

1 month 3 weeks ago

By Lisa Kelly

By Gretchen Crowder

On the first night of a three-day senior retreat, a student stopped me to say, “I wasn’t too happy when you took away our phones earlier.” As he took a breath before continuing, I steeled myself for the potential complaint coming. “But,” he said, “I noticed that I’m already feeling less anxious. It’s making me […]

by Sandra Matz.  

Teachers face increasing workloads and limited time for professional development. Discover how the Centre de pédagogie universitaire (CPU) at UQAR turned the holiday season into a unique opportunity for teacher development through two creative Moodle-based initiatives: The Festive Calendar and The Holiday Learning Journey. These projects combined gamification, festive themes, and practical resources to inspire teachers while addressing their busy schedules.

The Festive Calendar offered daily pedagogical tips in December, while the Holiday Learning Journey provided tools for integrating generative AI, classroom management, and active learning strategies. Both initiatives followed the RICE model (Reach, Impact, Confidence, Effort), ensuring high impact with minimal effort.

Join Emilie Ringuet, Pedagogical and Technoeducational Advisor at the Université du Québec à Rimouski in Canada, on Wednesday 12th March, 15:00-16:00 UTC, as she describes the reflective process behind those projects, the challenges of professional development for teaching resources, and the key outcomes of these projects. You'll also learn about the Moodle configurations and take home pedagogical resources and both projects in .mbz format. Let's unwrap the gift of effective, enjoyable and time-efficient professional development together!

By Eric Clayton

A windstorm battered our neighborhood not long ago, bringing down tall and storied trees and spilling their remains across integral roadways. One such tree blocked our path to preschool. As I put our SUV in reverse, pulling off a dramatic K-turn, my backseat passenger asked a question. “Daddy, are trees falling good for the environment?” […]
