All are welcome to attend Sahra Alhanaya MEd Presentation, "Technology in K-12 classrooms and teacher education: A literature review".
Open to the Public, June 27, 12:30 pm - 1:00 pm. Closed session 1:00 pm - 2:30 pm in 280N of the AVC.
This study reviews existing research conducted between 2007 and 2017, regarding integrating technology in K-12 classrooms and preparing K-12 teachers for using technology in their classrooms. The present study examines studies concerning the integration of technology in K-12 classrooms and investigates professional development models for encouraging pre-service and in-service teachers to use technology.
This study synthesizes quantitative, qualitative and mixed methods studies in order to have a comprehensive view of existing research. Based on a review of 45 articles concerning integrating technology in K-12 classrooms, and 50 articles focusing on K-12 teachers' professional development regarding technology, this review found that there were relatively few empirical studies conducted in actual K-12 classrooms and relatively few studies of embedded professional development. This study seeks to contribute to current research focused on integrating technology in K-12 classrooms and on K-12 teachers' professional development about teaching with technology. It recommends more empirical research in K-12 classrooms and more research on K-12 teachers' embedded professional learning about technology.
When phoning anyone in the Department of Development and Alumni Engagement, you must dial all ten digits. Simply dialing the last four will no longer work for this department.

Construction is expected to begin as early as Monday, June 25, 2018 and is expected to be complete by the end of August 2018. During this time there will be noise and possibly some vibrations. This area will be considered a construction zone. The project will focus on a portion of level 2 to be renovated to create a suite of office and support space, including, electrical, mechanical and architectural systems upgrades.
While the contractors have been instructed that the work be executed with the least possible interference or disturbance to the campus community, a certain amount of disruption is inevitable.

In recognition of the relationship between Japan and PEI, participants of the The L.M. Montgomery Institute's 13th Biennial Conference will be planting a cherry tree. The flowering tree will be very much like the tree which greets Anne when she first arrives on PEI at the train station at Bright River and outside her window at Green Gables. The planting will be Saturday, June 23 at 8:40 am in the UPEI Quadrangle between the Kelley Memorial Building and the W.A. Murphy Student Centre. All are welcome!
The plaque set near the tree will read, "In celebration of the 25th Anniversary of the L.M. Montgomery Institute & the kindred spirits of Japan and PEI. June 23, 2018." There will be representatives from the LMMI and Japan on hand.
Island Studies Press will launch its newest book, Called to Serve: Georgina Pope, Canadian Nursing Military Heroine, by Katherine Dewar, in Summerside on Sunday afternoon, June 24, 2 p.m., at Eptek Art & Culture Centre.
Called to Serve documents the life and times of Prince Edward Island's Georgina Fane Pope (1862-1938), daughter of William Henry Pope and Helen DesBrisay Pope. Her journey takes us from Charlottetown, where, inspired by Florence Nightingale, she developed a "burning desire" to become an army nurse; to the Boston States where she trained; to the battlefields of Africa and Europe where she served as a nursing sister and Superintendent of Nurses―and helped establish the nursing corps of the Canadian Army Medical Corps. Matron Pope was the first Canadian nurse decorated with a Royal Red Cross, 1st class.
In 2007 Georgina Pope’s bronze bust became one of the 14 heroic figures forming a part of the Valiants’ Memorial in Confederation Square, Ottawa. She also appears on the Canadian $5 coin.
Katherine Dewar is the author of the award-winning book, Those Splendid Girls: The Heroic Service of Prince Edward Island Nurses in the Great War, 1914-1918. Katherine is retired from a career as a nursing instructor at the PEI School of Nursing, and is now committed to researching PEI’s colourful nursing history. Those Splendid Girls was shortlisted for an Atlantic Book Award, won the Publication of Year award from the PEI Museum and Heritage Foundation and the City of Summerside’s Heritage and Culture department, and Katherine herself is the recipient of the PEI Museum and Heritage Foundation Award of Honour for her outstanding contribution to Prince Edward Island Heritage.
The launch is free and open to the public. For more information, please contact Laurie at iis@upei.ca or (902) 894-2881. Books will be on sale for $27.95 in bookstores and online through the UPEI Bookstore from mid-May onward.
