Points of View Relevant to YOU

January 2012

Religion, globalization and body image are just a few of the categories that can be found in the Canadian Points of View Reference Center. Each category includes many topics and excellent research resources to help students think critically about important issues. This database also models effective instructional design for project based learning. Each topic includes critical questions, and guides students' understandings. This valuable online database can be used within classrooms to explore current and controversial issues in Canada within a 21st Century learning framework.

To effectively use this tool, ERAC has created an informative and helpful video as well as a simple written description on the various aspects of usage. It can all be found at the new ERAC Commons site under the ERAC4U section. Make sure to get the greatest value of your resources by checking this section regularly as we post tips and hints on using other products.
