- The World with AI: Explorations through Drama (and Dance) - As teachers consider the ways that digital literacy needs are expanding because of the growth of Generative AI (GenAI) use among students, the Council of Ontario Drama and Dance Educators proposes that drama and dance can provide gateways to making sense of this new world alongside students while keeping student well-being front and centre. By exploring themes related to the way GenAI behaves and the role Gen AI takes in relation to human beings, students will build deeper understandings of the limits of AI and how important fluency is for engaging with AI in responsible, safe, and ethical ways. - April 16, 2026 - Watch it here.
- Turning the Page – Highlighting Key Resources from the Right to Read Writing Project - The literacy pendulum has often swung from science of reading to whole reading. The recent shift back to the science of reading is essential, but the OHRC’s Right to Read Literacy Report talks about more than just the building blocks of words – it talks about words as building blocks for identity, equity, and access to critical literacy. CODE developed Turning the Page resources to support educators to encompass both of these goals. This webinar will highlight the creative pedagogy used to create access to literacy and reading while engaging the whole human, and provides educators with tools to better meet the needs of students with diverse needs. - February 10, 2026.
