Red River College Business and Technology Teacher Education students, Jessica Lister and Robert Porczek, hosted an event for Global Collaboration Day 2015 to connect pre-service teachers globally. The purpose of the event was to connect students and to create opportunities for global collaboration. Students created Google Slides that were shared via social media and on the Global Education Conference website so that other teacher education students could connect and participate. The image below is linked to the slides.

The students and instructors of RRC’s Industrial Arts Teacher Education program in cooperation with Bonnie Heath of Equality Communication Centre of Excellence (ECCOE) designed and crafted a metal and glass display that will be featured at the Raw Almond Restaurant on the Assiniboine River from Jan 22 – Feb 12, 2015.

The display-project provided an authentic learning opportunity for students in the program. Not only where they able to put their designing, manufacturing, finishing and project management skills to the test, they also gleaned a sense of pride knowing that they were contributing to a worthwhile community activity. While at the Raw Almond Restaurant, the display will serve as a collection site for financial contributions to a 4 million dollar housing unit that will be designed to meet the needs of the Deaf-Blind individuals.

Anyone wishing to make a charitable contribution to the housing project fund can contact Judy McGuirk, of the Teacher Education Department at jmcguirk@rrc.ca or mail a contribution to the Resource Centre for Manitobans who are Deaf-Blind (RCMDB) Housing Project
