GROUPE MÉDIA TFO UNVEILS ITS FIRST DIGITAL AND COLLABORATIVE CLASSROOM
"We are proud to launch this new project in Windsor, Ontario, a city where the first Francophone school of the province was born. A reflection of IDELLO, these new classes will be the incarnation of learning values in the 21st century, including mobility and interactivity. These classrooms will support new approaches, including the inverted classroom, which favour autonomy, and will place the student interests at the heart of their learning journey."
– Julie Caron, Digital Learning Officer, Groupe Média TFO
"The Providence Catholic School Board is engaged to provide high quality education. This new development is favourable to the development of essential skills to succeed in the twenty-first century and is well encompassed in the technological vision of the Providence Catholic School Board. E.J. Lajeunesse Catholic High School will stand out as the only school with such an installation in the province."
- Joseph Picard, Director General, Providence Catholic School Board
Near 2,500 contestants participated in the "Win a Creative Space" contest launched by IDELLO last fall among Ontario's and Québec's Francophone schools. After E.J Lajeunesse Catholic High School, the experience will be renewed during the next Back to School by radically changing a second classroom in Québec City, at Collège François-de-Laval.
At the heart of this IDELLO initiative is a collaboration between a group of artisans, the teachers and the students in order to reinvent their ideal classroom. This new learning environnement creates an original combination of education, technology and new design. By encouraging a practical, interactive and collaborative approach, IDELLO contributes to engaging learners and fosters the development of 21st century skills such as problem resolution, creativity, communication or even critical thinking.
