All 27 papers are now available!

We are thrilled to let you know that all 27 papers submitted for this symposium are now available for you to read on this TMCanada Blog. We are unaware of any other event in K-12 education in Canada that is based on this wealth of input from contributors. TMC is truly unique, thanks to the wealth of ideas and experiences from the dedicated people who have submitted papers.

The other piece that makes TMC unique is the degree to which you as participants are invited to engage in the process. The symposium is about delving into ideas and working towards positive outcomes.

We invite you to continue reading and responding to papers. There are already several great conversations underway. If you are a paper writer, be sure to check in on the conversation that it has inspired, responding to questions and comments as they arise. 

TMC7 and the BCTLA Fall Conference are just days away. We look forward to gathering together in New Westminster!

Please get reading, and get talking! 

TMC5 Papers

TMC5 Theme: Culturally Relevant and Responsive School Library Learning Commons

• Learning Environment 
• Instructional Approaches

• Leveraging Technology

TMC 2017 Papers are published on a Google site to promote collaborative study and dialogue. Papers are peer reviewed and posted as soon as possible. More are coming so keep revisiting the site.

The papers have been posted according to the four subthemes of this symposium however the editors acknowledge that many papers actually connect across more than one theme. Each paper has its own page complete with information about the author and a brief summary of the work. At the bottom of the page a PDF of the paper is attached for you to study. As you read you can add comments for the author in the comments section under the PDF Paper. The authors will appreciate your thoughts, questions and additional ideas and links and we encourage our authors to respond to comments.

All paper writers and attendees at TMC5 in Winnipeg will have access to make comments if we have your gmail address. We hope that everyone will read as many papers as possible before coming to the symposium in Winnipeg because we will not have time during the event. If you are not able to attend in person we would still appreciate your comments.

NOTE: You need to sign into this site with your Google account to add comments to the papers. Look for the 'Sign In' tab at the bottom of Home Page'.
