In classrooms across the school, students are using interactive platforms such as Blooket and Gimkit to reinforce Mi’kmaq vocabulary and concepts in fun, game-based formats. Teachers are also incorporating Keynote and Canva to help students create presentations that celebrate stories, traditions, and community knowledge in their own voices. These tools make language learning dynamic, collaborative, and meaningful.

The recent community investment in Smartboards has added another layer of hands-on, interactive learning. Lessons now come alive through movement, visuals, and shared participation, allowing students to engage physically and socially with content in new ways.

‍

STEM learning is also a growing focus at LSK. Students explore creativity and problem-solving with tools like Beaverbot, Makedo, and iPads. Whether designing, building, coding, or creating digital projects, learners are developing critical thinking skills grounded in culturally relevant experiences.
