Olympic and Paralympic themes span across all courses in the B.C. school curriculum – from language arts to science, physical education to mathematics, social studies to fine arts, technology to career planning. Teachers of all grade levels can take advantage of these natural educational links. We urge you to embrace this opportunity to make learning even more exciting through this Teachable Moments for the 2010 Classroom DVD.
On this disc, you will find a wide range of resources designed to help bring the excitement of the 2010 Winter Games to your classroom. You will also hear from educators and athletes about how the Olympic and Paralympic Games can be used as an educational tool to benefit your students, both in and out of the classroom.
We encourage you to start exploring these resources by watching the Featured Videos, with Olympic education expert Deanna Binder, Olympic gold medalist Simon Whitfield and Paralympic bronze medalist Andrea Holmes. These videos show the tremendous educational value of the Games and inspire you to seize the opportunities that the 2010 Winter Games will bring.
