Prelude - A game of discovery and learning.

Eastern Township School Board

April 9, 2009

The Eastern Townships School Board (ETSB) is one of Quebec’s nine English-speaking boards. The ETSB serves close to 7000 students in: 20 elementary schools, three secondary schools, one alternative secondary school, two vocational education centres, two adult education centres, and one centre of excellence. It was the first education jurisdiction anywhere to offer 1:1 laptop learning to lower grades.

Location: Cowansville, Quebec

Program: Staff Training – Professional Development

Description: As  professionals [school administrators, counsellors, and teachers] trained to use Prelude with students, it became increasingly evident that the game had as much value for the former group as for the latter. The following workshops, from 2007-09, provided an experiential baseline for an adult version of the game now in development.
