Love this. I sense a thought provoking prompt for creative writing in my class. Thanks for sharing! You have an amazing gift of sharing so many interesting perspectives in just a single photo/video

In this very popular footage by the Peninsula Open Space Trust [full video: https://t.co/G6tKKTwren] a coyote and a badger are seen traveling together at night. But this is not so uncommon. They have been even spotted hunting together: https://t.co/xYVeYf721W

@MissBrule56 What a great idea! Would you mind sharing some of the cargo car numbers you used? I can see a couple numbers in the pictures but just wondering if there were more. Thanks for sharing all your amazing ideas I’ve been following for awhile now

This cannot be retweeted enough.

Ours is a globalized world. Climate change affects us all; no one can hide from it. The global economy means we need to think of other people as members of one global family. This is why we need humane values based on common sense and common experience in our education systems.

During this trip, I reconnected with family and learnt more about where I come from. I don’t get to see my grandparents much but every time I do, I re-remember who I am and who I want to be.

If you're complaining about Vancouver being too cold and rainy for August, might I remind you of the situation 366 days ago

The Amazon Rainforest has been burning for 3 weeks straight and it’s only just being spoken about. Please, help raise awareness of the death and destruction of many types of wildlife. It’s only a matter of time before the whole rainforest is gone. #PrayforAmazonia

@WabKinew D) Vanitoba! Love it!!!

[Alexandra Tailby @AlexandraTailby]

@tweetsomemoore Thank you for all the work you do for inclusion. As a new student teacher learning the ropes of education, your podcast and videos have been a huge inspiration.

[Alexandra Tailby @AlexandraTailby]

Love this idea! I only just became aware of how often I use “guys.” With students and in life generally. I think my favourite is “earthlings” thanks for the tips!!

[Kyle McKillop @KyleMcKillop]

Words I use in my classroom instead of "guys": creatives, Earthlings, folks, grade Xs, humanoids, humans, people, poets, students, writers. What do YOU use??

[Alexandra Tailby @AlexandraTailby]

After being absent from Twitter for several years, I’m back. My sponsor teacher showed me the potential Twitter has for sharing and learning for teaching and now I’m ready to learn and share with the huge education community on here. Thank you @Howdensclass #education #bced #sd36

Earlier this year, I started my short practicum in teaching. It was so busy that I didn’t have an opportunity to share my experience.
For 5 weeks, I taught and observed in a Grade 4/5… https://t.co/GVoWFkj8Vq

@cultofpedagogy @ChiHiJackson Go through the reflection process with them after a lesson. As a current student teacher, my mentor and I go through a pre- and post-observation cycle. During the post observation I reflect on the lesson and she helps me see where I could have improved or adapted. Felt supported

[Justin Tarte @justintarte]

There’s really nothing to lose by giving a student a second chance.

Nothing. Nada. Zilch.

There’s only the possibility of strengthening a relationship, demonstrating the power of empathy, and instilling a glimmer of hopeful recovery.

[Alexandra Tailby @AlexandraTailby]

@Howdensclass Awe! So sweet! I’m missing them all this week.
