| Attention Elementary School Teachers: |
The NED Program is pleased to offer the following six programs and services to First Nation elementary schools in Ontario. For more information, please visit the NED Program website.
 |
| The Ned Program provides online supplementary courses to grade 7 and 8 students in First Nation elementary schools and education programs across Ontario. This free program is designed to enrich classroom teaching by offering courses in Math, Science and English Literacy. Students work online to complete short assignments written especially for First Nation schools. All assignments are marked by a certified teacher and grades are only accessible by you, the local teacher. Login when it’s convenient. Have your students work on a whole course or a few assignments. This is very flexible program that allows local teachers to control the level of student participation. |

| Ontario Educational Resource Bank (OERB) is a learning object repository which houses digital resources developed by teachers for K-12 that can aid in online or face-to-face instruction such as: maps, lesson plans, video clips, games etc. The OERB also enables teachers and students to use another database called Learn360, which has thousands of educational videos and audio clips |

 |
| OSAPAC and OESS provide a distribution mechanism whereby software is sent to School Boards, Faculties of Education and First Nations Schools. Software is available for all grades and includes popular programs such as Adobe Photoshop, Career Cruising, Geometer’s Sketchpad and Math Trec and many more. Visit the NED Program website to see if your school qualifies for free software. |
 |
| This year, a number of First Nations communities and organizations are
participating in the First Nations/eLearning Ontario Access Pilot, which
will extend the provincial eLearning program to a number of First
Nations schools in Ontario. Note that this program begin in mid October
2013. |
 |
| Do you want to run your own course? We can provide you with your own private course on the NED Program website. In your course, you can create content (assignments, forums, quizzes, etc.) and control student registration. |
 |
| Do you want to run your own eLearning show? We can provide your school with its very own Moodle site. Note
this requires someone from your school to administer the site, which
includes tasks like creating courses, adding teachers, registering
students, etc. If you are willing put in the time it takes to manage a
Moodle site, we can help you do it! |
