The Youth Edtech Summit (YES) is a
one day
student-centred forum for YRDSB students and staff to
co-learn
while demonstrating and sand-boxing a multitude of methods for engaging
technology in their personal learning. This is an exciting leadership
opportunity for students to share their understanding around curriculum and
technology and facilitate creative learning sessions with other students. Our
group of Johnny Lombardi grade 8 students, Brandon, Rayan, Cecilia, Bradley and Bhavya designed and implemented a virtual reality playground using various apps and devices. Our session was so
much in demand that we were asked to run 2 workshops with our enrolment exceeding capacity.
These five intermediate students proved once again they are the leaders of
today and tomorrow.
Way to go Lightning!
