Last year I was involved in several PD groups and was lucky enough to focus on developing History and Geography resources using the new Ontario curriculum expectations. As I worked collaboratively on lessons and units with other intermediate teachers, I kept thinking of how we could share what we developed with other teachers. I really wanted some sort of a platform that intermediate teachers could visit to find ideas, but also contribute ideas - a website seemed like the logical answer.
So after much thinking and discussing, I would like to introduce the "Intermediate History and Geography Exchange" website! This site is most definitely in its infant stage, but I have added lessons to the "Gr. 8 Geography" section and "Student Celebrations" to get started.
It is my hope that intermediate teachers from not just WCDSB, but all of Ontario will share ideas here on how to deliver the History/Geography curriculum with 21st Century learning and Inquiry in mind.
Please let me know if you are interested in contributing!
Until next time,
Katrina Gouett
