Kirsten Thompson - Coordinator of ICT

After 12 years I am leaving this platform. This space has introduced me to so many amazing people over the years, and had brought about many opportunities, but change needs to happen. My blog and online portfolio will have my online presence to reconnect

#WOWWednesday goes out to our divisional ELA PLC who spent their Friday strengthening their understanding of AI This team will be working together to strengthen student understanding of AI through the purposeful introduction of these tools within ELA programs #mvsd_mb

#TechTipTuesday as we prepare for report cards & parent-teacher interviews, student portfolios can be a fantastic tool to assist in student metacognition, assessment, & transparent communication. Which one would you use? #mvsd_mb

Today is National STEM Day! One of the ways #mvsd_mb encourages academic success is through hands on learning. The Snap Circuit Kits are available to teachers from our PD Centre and are set to go to a Grade 3/4 class at RES next, as they explore coding and STEAM learning.

STEM in action! #mvsd_mb
