This Week in Canadian EdTech Podcast, Sneak Peek at Erin Mills Connects' newly minted special report, Beyond High School: A Guide to Discovering Your Pathway to Success
Welcome to our Special CanAm ISTE EdTech Report, where we explore the latest in innovations and research in the K12 & Higher Education space as we prepare for the Biggest EdTech event of the year as media partners>>ISTELive, June 26-29, New Orleans. It's not too late to register! 
 
We have a special VIP invitation for the Mindshare community members included in this month's issue to attend our 24th CanAm ISTE VIP Networking Reception at ISTELive, Tuesday, June 28, 5:30 pm. 
 
As we come down to the final weeks, or days of school, let's focus on finishing strong! We are ramping up, to relax and recharge for the summer. The resumption of in-class learning and in-person professional learning makes it seem like we're drinking from a firehouse for sure. I'm constantly reminding myself not to stress over the things we can't control. And, yes, getting a good dose of daily exercise can be easier said than done. I'm happy with three fitness workouts a week to help me cope with the daily grind.
 
Exciting times ahead this month as we are hosting many events and activities as highlighted in this report! We honour and celebrate 2SLGTBQIA+ (Pride Month), Italian Heritage Month, and National Indigenous History Month. There are lots of great resources for teachers to engage their students in new and innovative ways infusing themes of the month. 
 
Speaking of teachers, we're super excited to be conducting the final judging this week in the Canada's Schools of the Future [Student Innovation] Challenge. Stay tuned for the winners to be announced next week! Special thanks to our valued sponsors!
