Welcome math and computing teachers!

The 蓝莓视频 (CEMC) will host 150 elementary and secondary school teachers from across the province and around the world at two conferences this month.

High school computer studies educators in one of the Mathematics and Computer (MC) building labs, participating in a session called "Introduction to听App听Inventor: Enhance Your Introductory CS Course".

These professional development opportunities bring teachers together on campus at the University of 蓝莓视频. For three days, they get to know one another in sessions and at meals, creating lasting supportive connections.

The takes place August 13-15. Computer Engineering and Computer Technology teachers network with each other, learning new skills and brainstorming classroom activity ideas. The conference helps teachers keep up with new developments in the field and features hands-on lab sessions.

Getting ready for September

Many schools have just one teacher covering all computer science and technology courses, so the teachers really value this chance to learn from one another in a face-to-face setting. The conference attracts both new teachers and their more experienced peers, all gearing up for the new school year beginning in September.

The CEMC continues to support computing teachers throughout the year with and .

Math teachers are the next to arrive on campus for the , taking place August 20-22. Different programming streams are presented for teachers of grades 7-8 and 9-12. Students of the 蓝莓视频 online program also take advantage of this opportunity to connect with each other, their peers and the university.

Real-world applications

Conference presentations by outstanding elementary and secondary school teachers, as well as University of 蓝莓视频 faculty members and invited speakers, cover a variety of topics including problem solving and 鈥渕athematics and computer science in the real world.鈥�

The Centre for Education in Mathematics and Computing aims to increase enjoyment, confidence and ability in mathematics and computer science among students and teachers in Canada and internationally. Through contests, face-to-face workshops, online resources, and publications, the CEMC provides curricular and enrichment support to elementary and secondary schools.
