Teaching with Technology: An Intro to Deep Learning
We're back with our next Teaching with Technology video with Julian Daher! This week, Julian gives us an intro to Deep Learning and what it looks like in the Ottawa Catholic School Board.
Building meaningful relationships in a digital classroom
In a digital classroom, it is true that, if not used intentionally, technology can add a cold and disconnecting element to our classrooms. However, it also possible for technology to be used in ways that add value to our relationships and bring teachers and students closer to together.
Hāpara stands for student voice
If you visited Hapara.com on Saturday, March 24, 2018, you may have noticed things looked a little different. We decided to blackout our website to show our support for student voice.
Teaching with tech: Second language immersion
We're back with the second video in our Teaching with Technology series! This week, Hapara Champion Trainer and OCSB educator Julian Daher lets us in on how he incorporates tech tools into his French as a second language immersion classes.
Creating a climate for student collaboration and feedback
My vision for my classroom is to foster an environment where students are comfortable making mistakes and sharing work with peers. The question then becomes, how do I do this? How do I shift from researching and implementing effective feedback strategies to using them to transform my classroom?
New video series: Teaching with Technology with Julian Daher
We are excited to announce a new video series with Hapara Champion Trainer Julian Daher from the Ottawa Catholic School Board on teaching with technology. Julian will be sharing short videos with us every week to show what teaching with technology looks like in his classroom, and how he uses both online and offline tools and methods to support learners.

The Evolution of Monitoring
The evolution of monitoring. Watch the webinar to learn how to implement a student-centered digital learning philosophy.
Offering student choice with playlist-based instruction
In essence, playlists give students choice over when, how and what they do to reach an academic objective. In a traditional lesson, students have two choices: follow the teacher’s directions verbatim, or choose to misbehave. That’s not much of a choice at all.
Promote student choice with Flipgrid, HyperDocs, and Workspace
So what is it about Flipgrid and HyperDocs that educators find so appealing? I think the draw is that they can be used to empower students by providing them with voice and choice in the classroom which, in turn, leads to increased engagement.
How technology helps with learner feedback
One of the many benefits of technology is that it helps us with all of these aspects of learner feedback. Providing feedback becomes even easier when Hāpara is added to the mix!
What student feedback is and isn’t
Why does feedback seem to be incredibly impactful sometimes in guiding student learning, but make no significant difference other times?
