October ended with a bang! The Digital Human Library has partnered with Aerin and Jimmy Guy of SpaceRace, a progressive digital agency "connecting the planet through visionary technologies". So what does that mean? Our mission is to bring the dHL to school boards across Canada to provide 21st century learning opportunities for teachers and students by connecting you with your people and your audiences. In other words, we want to connect you - the teachers - with the best educational videoconferencing resources available to enhance your classroom programs and inspire your students. Visit my blog in the coming weeks to learn more about our mission!

The Digital Human Library is a free resource that connects Canadian teachers and students with organizations and experts from all over the world.

Bring the field trip experience into your classroom!
