Quick overview: CREation is a RECIT FGA Provincial Service project. In a nutshell, CREation aims to help Quebec General Adult Education teachers write Learning Situations in a straightforward and easily understandable manner. CREation also encourages the integration of ICT into Learning Situations.
CREation Workshop: The CREation workshop is typically a two day event. During the two days, participants are asked to write a learning situation, while continuously referring to the prescribed elements of the new Quebec curriculum. Participants are encouraged to examine both their teaching practices and the type of questions or tasks they are asking of their adult students. In the very last step, finalized Learning Situations are placed on the offical CREation website to be shared with other teachers. We often like to remind participants that CREation is not THE WAY to create a Learning Situation, but simply one way of approaching it. The second phase of the CREation project (if approved) will place an emphasis on helping teachers with the evaluation portion of a Learning Situation.
What about this year? In the 2008-2009 school year, I have been continuing to offer CREation workshops in conjunction with Claudine Turnbull from the RECIT FGA Provincial Service. As we often receive questions from teachers who wish to know more about CREation, I’ve produced an on-line video that provides an overview on how to create a Learning Situation with CREation. If you are interested in having a more in-depth CREation workshop in your FGA centre (or school board) please contact us by referring to the contact section of my ICT blog.
