Dear Thought Leader,
The Canadian digital learning evolution or revolution? That is the question we ponder in our June MindShare Report – Cross Canada spotlight on Quebec.
All too often we see examples of new shiny tech tools entering a classroom without real planning or purpose. Innovation is also rediscovering what worked in the past. Is Dr. Papert finally coming of age?
This issue is packed with insights and significant developments in the learning & technology space across Canada and beyond.
Be sure to check out the following highlights in this issue:
- Governor General David Johnston talks innovation with Cantech Letter at C2MTL
- EDSBY WINS SIIA EDUCATION TECHNOLOGY CODIE AWARD FOR BEST CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT SOLUTION
- Innovation That Sticks Case Study Report: Ottawa Catholic School Board–Leading and Learning for Innovation, A Framework for District-Wide Change
- Exclusive Podcast with Dr. Susanne Lajoie, McGill University on EdTech Trends Across the Disciplines

- 7th Canadian EdTech Leadership Summit Nov 3 @MaRSDD Early Bird Special Available. Global EdTech Expert, Dr. Karen Billings, VP Education, SIIA Announced as Keynote. Ralph Benmergui, former CBC TV Host, Journalist and Producer
- EdTech Blogger at Large Tim Gard Weighs in on the Digital Learning Evolution vs Revolution Debate.
With University and College classes wrapped up and K12 near a conclusion, we express our gratitude for the inspiration and passion that emanates from the many stories that we garnered and shared throughout the academic year.
Special thanks to you our much valued members of our MindShare Learning Community, our sponsors, advisory board and team for making this past year our best ever!
Until next time, keep the digital learning curve steep!
P.S. We’re pleased to be hosting our 7th CanAm Celebration of Excellence Partnering Reception at ISTE16 June 27th in Denver. Drop me a note if you’re going and would like to attend!
