OSAPAC: Four GREAT Resources

November 12, 2014 markwcarbone 2 Comments

There is lots of exciting news on the OSAPAC front. The new OSAPAC website was launched at the recent Bring IT Together conference. In this post, I am highlighting four newsworthy items.

One of the new exciting Ontario provincial licenses is for Mindomo, web based mind mapping software for all educators in Ontario publicly funded schools. Have a look at the handy “get started” poster.

You should also check out the new Ontario developed resources: the SAMR model, digital citizenship and OSSEMOOC, the Connected Leadership opportunity.

Enjoy the new digital resources! Grow your mindset!

Bring IT Together 2014 has without a doubt been an amazing conference. We are stronger than ever before. One of the aspects that make this conference special is the Focusing on TOGETHER in Bring IT Together.

I want to extent an sincere thank you to the entire “Green Shirt Team” for the vision and work to plan an exciting, engaging and connecting conference. Well done!

The Journey Challenge:

As you prepare to travel back to your respective school boards, savour the highs, the new learnings and your new connections. I also want to encourage you to consider this wonderful event as the starting point of a journey. I am thinking that the most important thing that happens between now and the 2015 conference event is the journey you will take.

Some thinking prompts:

How has your growth mindset changed as a result of something that happened here at the conference?
How will you nurture the new connections you made?
Will you change the way in which you participate in professional learning?
How will you share?
How will you make your thinking visible?
What actions will you take to help a colleague move along their professional growth path?

Plan to make a difference!

Safe travels, see you online.
