OpenAI released plugins for ChatGPT.

It will change the future of humanity.

Here's how they work and why this is so important:

Looking for guest speakers who can speak to student voice and leadership? Any students or educators out there who have someone in mind? #onted #edutwitter

[Travis Dhanraj @Travisdhanraj]

#NEW: Starting at 7:30 p.m. and every eve going forward, @RNAO is asking everyone – from doorsteps or keeping a safe distance – to cheer on the millions of health providers and other essential front-line workers in Ontario and around the world who are tackling #COVID19 Please RT!

[OSSTF Communications @osstf]

Minister Lecce says he wants a win-win-win deal that is student-focused.

His latest proposals are not good for students, parents, or education workers.

No matter how you look at it, it's a lose-lose-lose for publicly-funded education.

@acampbell99 Also, can’t celebrate because it’s still a class size increase (with no promise on keeping caps) + still mandatory elearning (Lite edition). It’s still a bad deal for students.

[Kristin Rushowy @krushowy]

“Do not increase class sizes.” And forget about elearning- The main messages the province heard during massive public consultations according to documents obtained by @TorontoStar at #oecta labour board hearing ... https://t.co/wGETfrNxi8 #onted #oecta #osstf #etfo #aefo

@nhearn26 You and me both!

[ARKELLS @arkellsmusic]

Honking loud for all the teachers out there marching today. Call me old fashioned, but we oughta empower and dignify the people who are in charge of guiding the next generation.
Of all the things for @fordnation to put their foot down on, this one is a head scratcher.

[@craigcardiff @CraigCardiff]

Dear Teachers -
We are sorry for how Stephen Lecce and Doug Ford are behaving. For all of the upcoming shows we have set aside blocks of tickets for you to come as our guests. Some are almost full, but we will make it work, because that’s what you all do for the kids.
DM PLS

10,145 users voted in this informal twitter poll I posted the other day. Though definitely not scientific, the results are interesting nonetheless!

Q: Who do you support when it comes to their stance on public education in Ontario? #Onpoli #Onted

Final Results:

@tonimacneil @BCIVS @GEDSB @BCIGuidance @BCIOFFICE @BCI_Library That was amazing!

[Kate JohnsonMcGregor @TL_Kate]

Saying goodbye to 20 staff, 16 of whom have no job in September. This was the most heartbreaking staff meeting I’ve ever attended. How can anyone be excited about summer when so many great educators are losing their livelihood? @BCIVS @GEDSB #onpoli #OntEd #CutsHurtKids

[Kyle Geerlings @MrGeerlings]

@WillBoumaBrant @fordnation So as courses are cancelled and students lose access to pathways due to cuts...money is spent on access to beer? #priorities

[Kyle Geerlings @MrGeerlings]

Wider alcohol availability demonstrates how short sighted PCs are being - it considers none of the downstream impacts (addiction, bottle return, ID carding, etc). They’ve chosen to invest in beer choice over secondary course choices for students...let that sink in.. #onted #osstf

[Sam Hammond @SLAR2023]

Just imagine, if you can, that instead of promoting beer sales in corner stores these same Conservative MPPs were standing in front of a school shaking an educators hand, promoting our world class publicly funded public education system! @ETFOeducators @CanTeachersFed #ETFOStrong

[Kyle Geerlings @MrGeerlings]

I’m hoping more boards will follow this and post the impacts

[Harvey Bischof @HarveyBischof]

I'm a constituent in #brantfordbrant. I asked my MPP @WillBoumaBrant for a meeting.

He refused. So much for consultation.
