e-Learning - Partnerships: Provincial, National and International |
About
The New Brunswick Department of Education and Early Childhood Development supports and encourages provincial, national and international partnerships. By using Information Communication Technology (ICT), our students and teachers can learn anywhere, anytime. Students learn that no matter where a community is globally located, health, safety, jobs, education and the economy are all matters of common concern.
Both students and teachers are enriched as they learn about these issues and grow through information exchanges. Students are exposed to new learning practices. Educators are enriched and professionally developed by the opportunity to network, contact different cultures, and embark on new professional friendships. |
