Student-Led Panel: Reimagining Computer Science – Gender Equity

“Insert all pronouns here.” Come join a student-led panel discussion on gender equity in technology! Student voice is the foundation of making change for a better future. In this panel, students take the mic to candidly chat about the under-representation of girls in computer science courses and how to foster a sense of belonging and confidence in any classroom. Student panelists will unpack what gender equity means to them, their own experiences, and share practical strategies to inspire (and sustain!) a passion for computer science and technology in your teaching practice. The following content is accessible for members only, please sign in.

Although we may be under a shelter-at-home at the moment and unable to get together face-to-face, there are still a lot of wonderful opportunities for good learning online. Today we invite you to check out the growing collection of Upcoming Events.

Just this past weekend the #DigCitTO event moved from in-person to virtual, and welcomed a huge gathering of educators online in both YouTube live and Zoom. Look for the recordings for the various sessions to appear in a new resource section later this week.

Bonnie Stewart, Dave Cormier, and Nick Baker from UWindsor recently hosted 3 sessions to assist K12 educators in moving online. As follow-up, they are hosting weekly drop-in sessions on Tuesday afternoons at 3:15 pm ET for the next 5 weeks. Check out the links in the upcoming events to the #OTT20 Online Teaching Tuesday sessions.

Also featured are coding series from CanCodeToLearn and Hackergal, as well as other exciting opportunities, including the recently announced OAME 2020 Virtual Conference, taking place from May 6-9. Links to register and/to join are included for all events.

If you are hosting an event for Ontario Educators or learners that we can help you promote, please be sure to let us know. We’ve placed a convenient link to submit items at the bottom of the Upcoming Events page. Just this afternoon we had two entries come in via the form, and they’ll be posted shortly!
