The ORION-ABEL Webcast series is presented in collaboration with the Ontario Research and Innovation Optical Network (ORION) and the Advanced Broadband Enabled Learning (ABEL) program.
ORION is pleased to collaborate with ABEL to make this webcast series and related resources available to all schools and other audiences throughout in Ontario and across Canada. These webcasts illustrate the benefits of using collaborative and interactive teaching and learning technologies in schools and classrooms.
A growing number of Ontario school boards have made the decision to connect to ORION, a not-for-profit organization created to provide Ontario with an advanced research and education network infrastructure. The ORION and ABEL collaboration is among the new programs and services ORION is introducing to help students and teachers derive maximum benefits from ORION’s state-of-the art capabilities in supporting teaching and learning outcomes.
Professional Learning Webcasts will be posted monthly to June 2009 and each webcast will also include reflective activities that support the learning. We hope you will find them useful and that and that they contribute to professional growth and a better understanding of the new and innovative tools and resources now available.
