Note:As some teachers develop their own IT resources, others remain skeptical that technology enhances learning outcomes. We will share strategies on integrating NewsActivist, a teachers developed Quebec-based globally networked collaborative learning platform, to further linguistic and civic competencies. NewsActivist is a platform whose developer’s initial objective was to enable community involvement among students in service-learning courses. Its communicative nature, however, engendered adoption by local teachers of English. The platform’s flexibility has enriched student learning in unforeseen and innovative ways.
