FLO EdTech Sandbox Series – Sticky Notes

Discover the BCcampus FLO EdTech Sandbox Series, an initiative that empowers educators in B.C.’s post-secondary institutions to explore innovative teaching tools through a safe online environment. In these two-hour livestream webinars, expert leaders will introduce and demonstrate cutting-edge, open, and free or low-cost educational technology tools, allowing you to experiment and gather exciting ideas for teaching activities. Our mission is to foster digital teaching innovation, encouraging faculty and staff to embrace emerging technologies with curiosity and openness, ultimately enhancing the learning experience for all.

By actively participating in these sandbox sessions, you will delve into hands-on experimentation with tools, collaborate with fellow educators to review their features, gain valuable insights into teaching activities, and discover ways to integrate these tools into your courses. If you’re unable to attend, recorded webinars of the presentations and written reviews of the tools will be available on our site after the event.

About the Facilitator

John Churchley is a sessional instructor at Thompson Rivers University (TRU). “I have used edtech tools to create audio and video instructional media as a synchronous/asynchronous online and face-to-face instructor and administrator for K–16 students. I have been doing this since 1989, when I used MIDI equipment and recording and scoring software with my music classes. Since then I have used audio software and supported its use as the principal of an arts integration K–12 school, as a tenure-track teaching professor in the TRU School of Education, and as an educational developer for the Centre for Excellence in Learning and Teaching at TRU. I taught online courses for TRU Open Learning for six years and developed open learning courses that included my instructional media. Examples of my use of audio software in a teaching and learning environment are available on the TRU website.
