Mind mapping is a simple technique for drawing information in diagrams, instead of writing it in sentences. The diagrams always take the same basic format of a tree, with a single starting point in the middle that branches out, and divides again and again]]> 2018-04-24 16:37:05 UTC https://padlet.com/goyerst/6ihiiy0dxb5g/wish/254921505 What is it? goyerst https://padlet.com/goyerst/6ihiiy0dxb5g/wish/254922331 ExploreLearning Gizmos is the world’s largest library of interactive online simulations for math and science education in grades 3-12.

  • Maintain for the Ministry of Education, a web-enabled database, in both official languages of all provincially licensed software;
  • Inform educators of the OSAPAC process and of the licensed software titles available to all publicly funded schools;
  • Provide additional support, including professional development opportunities, where appropriate and available for the implementation of provincially licensed software;
  • Maintain a web site and a conferencing system to keep all interested parties informed of the business of the Committee and to provide a feedback mechanism for software related issues;
  • Maintain a web-enabled database of Ontario curriculum expectations linked to provincially licensed software titles.
