What Do You Do When Your Home Suddenly Becomes Your Classroom
Although the webinar is geared towards students, it can be of benefit to parents, teachers, tutors, and others who are in contact with the targeted student population. For most senior high school and post-secondary students, online learning is not something they have chosen, but a necessity imposed on them.
Some students thrive in the online environment; others say that sitting alone in front of a screen all day zaps motivation. Successful online learning depends on two, equally important factors: what teachers bring to the virtual classroom and how well students can adapt to this new situation. Academic success in these challenging times requires a new skill set.
What kind of an online learner are you? Do you have the necessary skills to be successful in your online courses? Are there resources and tips that could be helpful to you?
This webinar will provide students in Secondary 3,4 & 5, Cegep, and university with strategies regarding:
The Science Of Fun Applied
The Pandemic forced us all online for better or worse. What if there was a way to make online connecting fun, joyful, and energizing?

It’s easy and it builds focus, good feelings, and connection.
Expect to learn some new online connection and energy skills in this workshop directed by Laughologist and Filmmaker Albert Nerenberg (Laughology) and Energy Medicine Expert Sarah Knight.

This webinar was specially created for parents. Does your child struggle with math, or reading, or learning new things? Do you find that your child has a very short attention span? It can be normal for children to struggle with certain things, while do well with others. It can also be a sign of Attention Deficiency Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and/or learning disabilities. In this webinar, Linda Aber explains what signs to keep an eye on if you have such questions.
This webinar will be of interest to parents, grandparents, early childhood educators, teachers, and anyone who interacts with children on a regular basis.
Topic: How can we lead our children back to school amid all of the changes COVID-19 has brought? What do we do with their worries (and ours), as we face uncharted waters? How do we prepare them for physical distancing and other new regulations that schools will have to impose? This webinar will address these questions and more. It will help parents to take the lead with their children and give them some tips for managing the emotions and behaviours that will arise as a result of this new way of being in schools.
Please note that this presentation will NOT deal with the medical aspects of COVID-19, nor specific rules in each school. Rather, it addresses the emotional needs of our children as we prepare them to re-enter school.
The brain has two hemispheres – Left and Right
The Left hemisphere is used to learn facts and focus in on details and rules. It wants the answer.
The Right hemisphere looks at the whole picture and makes sense of lots of details. It considers the context.
The right hemisphere requires EXPERIENCES, not INFORMATION to develop. AND SO THE NEED FOR PLAY – LOTS OF PLAY
