An interactive multi-day event for the Concordia Education community.

Details

 

After a big year of online and blended teaching, we're bringing you speakers with stories, experiences and major learnings under their belt. Let’s gather as a community to listen, share our perspectives, advice, tools, and tips so that we may all become better at online and blended teaching.

Whether you are a 1st-year student or getting ready to graduate, you are all invited to learn, share, and connect with your peers. This event will get you oriented – feeling open and willing to try online and blended teaching in your own practice.


  • Who is this virtual festival for? 

    All ECEE and TESL students, pre-service teachers, alumni, and mentors of Concordia University’s Department of Education are welcome.

  • Do I have to attend all of the event sessions?

    Nope. Join the sessions that seem interesting to you. Students who attend at least 4/5 sessions will receive a certificate of completion – a highlight for your resume.

  • What will the sessions be like?
    Speakers will come prepared to share their best stories and advice with you. You will have opportunities to break out into discussion, conversation and connecting with your peers. 
  • Where will the event be hosted?

    The event will take place on Zoom. Get comfy and bring snacks!

Pro Tip:

First, watch the video to learn how to use this type of theme. Then, replace the video by selecting it and clicking on the "Embed Options" tab on the right. Then, simply paste in the direct link to YouTube or Vimeo. Hide this element when you're finished.

 
If you would rather embed a video or stream from a different service, use the "Video Block - IFrame", which can be found hidden in the Layout Tab.
