Ancestry Project – Digital Resources for Canadian Educators
Ancestry Project is a digital education resource designed with ESL instructors in mind. Learn about digital media for the classroom and download free materials on topics such as: Canadian history, culture, Canada 150 and digital storytelling.
Ancestry Project introduces teachers and educators to new Canadian education resources and new ways of conducting digital storytelling. Throughout 2017 access is free. All are welcome.
Topics include culture, history, and digital media, including special content devoted to Canada 150 and digital storytelling. Ancestry research is hot and can be undertaken with students as part of work on culture, history and society. Digital storytelling can be simplified so that producing audio stories becomes the focus, and easy web tools can be employed.
