With its root in the Greek word mythos, the term myth has come to refer to stories that are often derived through word of mouth. Myths are generally started to give a sense of understanding or control over something. Whereas realities are facts that are evidence-based and not up for debate. As teacher-librarians, you have a front-line role in supporting your students as they make sense of the world around them. Your role is crucial in: • developing critical and creative thinkers • developing an understanding of how knowledge is created • promoting the ability to evaluate ideas • enabling students to think for themselves Toward these goals, TVO is excited to introduce a new and easy way for educators to enhance in-class learning with in-depth current affairs, thought-provoking documentaries and award-winning TVOkids videos and games. More than 10,000 TVO and TVOkids videos, articles, and games are now available and searchable by grade, subject, and keyword (including curriculum keyword) to support you, the educator, in developing and sharing engaging lessons with students in the classroom. A few simple clicks in your e-learning (or blended learning) platform can unlock thousands of new and interactive ways to reinforce the Ontario K-12 Curriculum.
