Introduction
It's hard to say what the most striking benefit of using
Connected North in my classroom has been, as there
are several important ones. Having my students hear
viewpoints different from their own, challenging their
ideas and conceptions. Allowing them to conduct
science experiments not possible in the classroom.
Being able to visit places far from our community, so
opening the world to them.
Living out history in the places it
happened, making what we learned
in social studies real and concrete.
Exploring universities, colleges, and
careers across Canada to help make
post-secondary learning more
tangible.
Meeting with Indigenous role models
who inspire them.
All of these have been key benefits to
my students.
