We literally just got a shipment of 12,000 plastic bags. How is this a true environmental promise? Removing a biodegradable product verses products that will never biodegrade? Very confused. I understand the process of making paper, but there are more pressing issues.

@loblawco You can now get emailed receipts or no receipts at all at Zehrs, even though everybody wants a physical receipt still. But don't worry! We still give away hundreds of plastic bags every day as well as selling thousands of PC brand single use plastic water bottles.

@J_A_Corrigan @MLVillella I have decided to tweet out my thoughts for the Module 4 choice board activity!

in the States that actually sends students to gay rights rallies in Washington to participate in the greater LGBTQ+ community. This is an incredible opportunity for their students and was something we really enjoyed reading about! (2/2)

#EDU5190 The most rewarding part of our research though is that everything we have read has been positive and shows that GSAs work. Many hold weekly meetings where the students discuss LGBTQ+ topics in the news and media and reflect on them. We read an article about a GSA (1/2)

[Colin Zorzit @CZorzit]

much of the research has been conducted in more liberal areas. A more conservative community may have a less effective outreach program or less students who are willing to be "out" to their community. (3/3)

[Colin Zorzit @CZorzit]

#EDU5190 Because GSAs are relatively new, there is not a lot of research on GSAs in Ontario. This can be unfortunately be very limiting for our project, but we have been able to locate some great research that has been done on specific goals and curricula that some GSAs use (1/3)

to help their students build a safer community for themselves and others. Because every GSA operates differently, this will also contribute to potential limitations, as some may be more effective than others. Geography may also play an important part in limitations as (2/3)

#EDU5190 I have a personal connection to GSA formation as one of my best friends led the fight for the creation of one in his high school in 2009, taking the fight straight to the board, and eventually winning after much debate. https://t.co/JnYJsTRz7Q

#EDU5190 A great (probably the best) representation of a strong bisexual woman of colour character on television: Rosa Diaz from Brooklyn 99!

#EDU5190 Another issue that we have found is that because the focus is on high schools, finding students who are willing to get a permission form signed can pose a big problem if they are not "out" to their parents or their greater community.

lesbian. Of the studies we've looked at, only a few people identify as trans or bisexual, two voices that are largely underrepresented in research, media, literature, and popular culture. Most authors also note the difficulty in finding people of colour who identify as LGBTQ+.

[Colin Zorzit @CZorzit]

we unfortunately do not see a lot of variation in the studies, nor do we see a true representation of the LGBTQ+ community. As we dig through the research, we have noticed that the majority of participants are white, middle-class, and either identify as a straight ally, gay, or..

#EDU5190 As my group prepares for our mini-research assignment on LGBTQ+ inclusive schools and the effects of Gay-Straight Alliances (GSAs), we must focus on primary data, mainly surveys, that have collected valuable information on the topic. The biggest issue, however, is that..

Starting a gardening club will teach students patience, care, and can be tied into learning to live a more sustainable life. #424Learning

Incorporating DPA into your morning routine will get kids active, motivated, and alert for what's to come. Never skip DPA! #424Learning

In our tech class, we sign in by writing on a Smart Board. This is really fun and creative way to get kids excited to start! #424Learning

John Oliver's weekly videos are an incredible resource for interesting and generally not-talked-about subjects. #424Learning

@irene_sankoff JUST FINISHED THE ALBUM AND I'M SPEECHLESS AND FULL OF TEARS. The soundtrack is just such an amazing journey. Wow.

[Colin Zorzit @CZorzit]

@irene_sankoff I'm streaming the Come From Away album from NPR and have never been more proud to be Canadian. It's absolutely brilliant.
