The journey back to school this year was a lot like the beginning of the pandemic all over again, filled with uncertainty. Erika, like many parents, questions whether kids will get much out of online learning, as schools try to sort out ways to make virtual classes more engaging.  

Peter Singh from the Toronto District School Board - the fourth largest schoolboard in North America and largest in Canada - joins the podcast to discuss what this year’s back-to-school season looked like, and the responsibility he had in getting nearly 250 thousand kids back into a successful learning environment.  

What kinds of new tech are helping, and ultimately creating an entirely new learning experience? And, is the new approach to learning “scalable”? 

Featuring:
Peter Singh, Executive Officer of IT and IM Services at the Toronto District School Board.  

Special appearances by: 
Nicole Francis, Content Operations Senior Manager at Softchoice
