e-Learning - Partnerships: Provincial, National and International
|
About
 |
The New Brunswick Department of Education supports and encourages provincial, national and international partnerships. By using Information Communication Technology (ICT), our students and teachers can learn anywhere, anytime. The numerous benefits and rewards of these technological partnerships increase as
|
mutual respect for cultural and community differences is shared.
Students learn that no matter where a community is globally located, caring, 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.
The involvement of provincial, national and international partners enhances teaching and learning practices. Students are exposed to new learning practices as educators are enriched and professionally developed by the opportunity to network, contact different cultures, and embark on new professional friendships.
Students exposed to these new opportunities will achieve a larger view of the world. They will be better prepared to take advantage of these learning opportunities and in the future to contribute to provincial and national communities and, ultimately, the international community.
