111 teachers were given their layoff notices this week in my district. So much for “no one will lose their job” Doug.
Just heard 994 teachers lost their job across the province this week.
This ONLY hurts kids. https://t.co/sbNNL09vRZ
I normally don't post so much but I'm so saddened by yesterdays #OntEdAnnouncement . It's lengthy but it explains how devastating some of these changes can be. @fordnation#OntEd @LisaThompsonMPP
@JakeMillerTech @googledocs Kids will always find a new way to communicate with each other no matter how hard adults try. In related news, the grass will always find ways to be green and the sky will continue to be blue.
Creating respectful and responsible digital citizens takes a village.

Our job is to teach the students we have.
Not the ones we would like to have.
Not the ones we used to have.
Those we have right now.
All of them.

Thoughts about my #MOOC "Everyday Economics"
China's GDP grew at about 10% per year. Living standards doubled every 7-10 years.
Sustainable? What is happening now?
Check this with a quadratic or exponential model. #MCF3M#MHF4U
After progressing through a few more sections in my #MOOC a very interesting question was examined.
Does buying local work?
Great topic for debate and to dive into.
Interesting take from Everyday Economics #MOOC
"Specialization has allowed us to work more effectively."
Can you offer specialization to the educational experience for students?
BBI20 Question- How many employees to do need to specialize a startup company? #Entrepreneur
@KauaiJudy@MathBeforeBed I love @mathbeforebed. Anything that John Orr does has been great!
I have been working with vertical whiteboards for a year now. It is fantastic!
Almost completed @Freakonomics book. Interesting ideas in there. Looking to connect them to the classroom. I have enrolled in my first #MOOC . "Everyday economics"
Hoping to find some topics that are connected/correlated and be able to build some authentic learning activities.
After being at the @edtechteam summit last spring I have been working with #hyperdocs.
They are fantastic and students love working with them.
Check it out! https://t.co/quYiJA5xZa
Also check out @TsGiveTs to find some #hyperdocs ready to use!
Not an app but something I am looking forward to digging through this summer. @DitchThatTxtbk
So many different items to unpack and use in the classroom.
Specifically how to get students annotate. Check it out the free e-book!

One of the apps that I use in class is from @Desmos. They have a teacher section for guided lessons that are fantastic! Check it out! I will be using this specific task within the next two weeks. #math#edtech https://t.co/bVccsbDpNy
