Student ICT and Library Certification, an Added Dimension to the College Diploma
Michel Lacroix
Teacher, Collège Gérald-Godin
In the last few years, Collège Gérald-Godin has been working on an ICT integration plan to permit students to attain a higher level of mastery in the areas of information and communication technology and information-searching skills.
To facilitate the integration of ICT abilities into the students’ academic experience, the college has recently come up with a new approach. ICT abilities are seamlessly integrated into class activities and evaluations in the students’ two mandatory English courses as well as in their third physical education class. These courses are part of the general education courses that are taken by all the students in the college.

WOW! Un gros bravo et un gros merci! La certification TIC-Biblio de GG est une source d'inspiration pour le milieu collégial depuis le tout début. Ce clip est rassurant, motivant et tellement plein de fraîcheur! Vous abordez toutes les facettes de l'aventure. Cela démontre qu'un collège peut s'approprier ce projet réseau et en faire le sien, l'adapter à sa réalité. Merci de partager avec nous cette belle réussite et bon succès pour la poursuite de ce projet pédagogique!

Merci Michel pour cette entrevue qui présente un point de vue bien concret sur les actions posées dans votre collège pour faire développer les habiletés TIC et informationnelles des étudiants du collégial et ce entre autres, par le biais du Profil TIC des étudiants du collégial et d'InukTIC. Votre récit est une source d'inspiration pour beaucoup d'entre nous.
