The Tik Tok Book Club
We have the impression that reading is shunned by the younger generation. However, the "#BookTok" phenomenon on TikTok has created a real craze for literature among teenagers. So much so that even booksellers and publishers are taking note of this new-style book club.
Preparing for the first school transition
All educational transitions are important and leave a deep mark on young people's memories. However, while much effort is put into the transition from primary to secondary school and to higher education, little attention is paid to the first transition: kindergarten. Some environments, such as in Quebec, have understood that this first stage is pivotal and therefore work to prepare children for their entry into school life.
Alumni Year-End Address: Brand Image and Prestige Effect
The effort and care that an institution puts into inviting prominent figures to deliver the commencement address,
especially when they are its alumni, helps young people understand that they are important to the school and to society, and also that their school is a good one.
Constructive alignment, the antidote to generative laziness
Everyone is looking to optimize their time as much as possible, and this is also evident in the students. This adds to the pressure on teaching staff to reflect on their didactic approach, all the more so in a context where generative AI is gaining ground. What if the answer lay in constructive alignment?
Classroom discussion: instructions for use
The transmission of knowledge is done a great deal through speech. Parents teach children the basics of language by talking to them, their relatives teach them things by telling them, and the teacher writes verbally to explain the material. What if learners could also learn by talking to each other? This can be done, but the tags must be clear from the start.
