During this session, we will discuss different ways of using innovative, budget-friendly tools to enhance your own programming while highlighting resources offered by the Legislative Assembly Office. We will empower teachers to bring all levels of content to life in the classroom in ways that are dynamic and engaging. The Legislative Assembly Office provides fun and unique learning experiences that emphasize active citizenship and the democratic process.
