=Project Description=

The North East School Division (NESD) believes that it is crucial to try and implement new curricula into traditional teaching methodologies and pedagogy. It is our understanding that teaching and learning environments (schools) must be overhauled and updated to match the times in which we live (Jacobs, 2010). Through the MBCS 1:1 Digital Literacy Project, the NESD and Maude Burke intend to better understand the challenging needs of our learners in a world rapidly changing.

The Maude Burke 1:1 Digital Literacy Project will begin to test integration of 1:1 computing into a grade 5 classroom allowing students to encounter an authentic learning environment conducive for hands-on, inquiry/problem-based and collaborative learning through technology-based approaches. The project focus is to see the impact technology-based learning has on pedagogical approaches, authentic learning experiences and learning spaces through strategies including 1:1 computing, Instructional Design and Differentiated Instruction in order to provide students with 21st century skills.
