as a community. We celebrate
our values of fostering an
accessible and supportive
teaching and learning
environment that prizes
excellence and innovation,”
says Jan Lindsay, Vice
President Education, who

hosted the session.

‘Twenty-seven displays
showcased a wide range of
educational activities provided

Participants discovered that
technology enhances learning
in a variety of ways. Sign
language interpretation can
be taught online and with
the use of CDs. Foreign
language study is improved
by the use of electronic
tablets. Theoretical models,
such as Neuman’s Systems
Model, can be animated for
interactive learning.

Displays showed how
geography can come to life
in a graveyard and “mind

mapping” can help students

learn. Theatre-set models
illustrated the intricacy and
complexity of design required
to plan a performance.
Visitors also explored the
world of bugs and bison, and
discovered how combining
history and mystery can
develop investigatory skills.

took part in organizing and
presenting displays at this
year's event. I hope everyone
at Douglas College will
keep this event in mind as
they engage In activities
with students over the

next year, and will make
plans to display some of
these activities at the 2008
celebration,” says Lindsay.
