It's that time of year again! Back to school is just around the corner and most teachers are busy planning and preparing for another exciting school year. What kinds of wonderful new experiences will you offer your students this year?
Well, I have a few suggestions! How about connecting with some members from the Digital Human Library? With over 100 members to choose from across the curriculum, you could offer your students the opportunity to learn something new in an exciting new way.
Visit with a farmer and learn about the fall harvest and why we celebrate Thanksgiving. Connect with a veteran from the Speakers Bureau and learn about the Second World War, the Korean War, Peacekeeping Operations and/or Canadian Forces experiences around Remembrance Day. Celebrate diversity by inviting a Passages to Canada speaker to visit your classroom to share his/her story of coming to Canada. Want to take a class trip to the North Carolina Zoo? All of these exciting new opportunities for learning are waiting for you!
Register with the Digital Human Library today and start connecting with members this fall!

The Digital Human Library is a free resource that connects Canadian teachers and students with organizations and experts from all over the world. K-12 teachers can browse the library’s searchable database and engage students with real experts interested in videoconferencing with their classes. Bring the field trip experience into your classroom!
