UBC: 1-Day Faculty of Education Conference
So, what were a number of Vancouver's TLs doing out at UBC on Friday, all day? We were part of the Information Literacy Day, "Digging Deeper for Understanding -- Using Information Smarts in a Digital World," for secondary teacher candidates. Keynote speakers included Vancouver's new Superintendent Steve Cardwell and Deputy Superintendent Chris Kennedy from West Van. Presenters include TLs Parungao, North, and Ekdahl from Vancouver, Finlay from Burnaby, and Daly from Coquitlam, as well as UBC librarians Naslund and Giustini.
