@LianneQ @Teachers__Unite Not to mention students don’t learn as well with tech mediated materials

@MrSinghRchemist @leiahuttslayer @JBradshaw01 It’s school dependent. There are so many exceptions to the rule that it’s impossible to enforce as it is. If an admin is willing to back up the teachers enforcing a ban, then it might work.

Ford was told he couldn’t conduct government business on his personal phone. He did it anyways.

A court ordered he release his cell phone records. He refused.

Today, the Ontario Government will vote to allow Ford to delete those records, retroactively.

This is authoritarian.

@senoradeno @pammcgugan @osstf @marthahradowy @ETFOeducators @dmastin55 @OECTAProv @ReneforOECTA Then let them be paid as teachers. This sounds like wage theft to me. If they are doing the wroeknof teachers, pay them as such.

@ezaplatar @JBradshaw01 I usually take a TC and different universities have different expectations for how much time we spend on their administrivia. I’d appreciate fewer “onboarding” sessions and fewer pages of documentation /email sent to me from multiple sources from each time I accept a TC.

@JBradshaw01 He promised to change the Ed Act so that they wouldn’t “have to use the not-withstanding” clause, so the foreshadowing is setting us up to worry.

@Dressdinyello @JBradshaw01 Our IEP kids learn in the regular classroom with their peers.

@JodiesJumpsuit It really was so much fun! I just walked down Spadina from Kensington, though. Good times!

Digital media's impact on the health and development of children: what you need to know.

@howie_hua Explicitly teaching collaboration skills for working in groups. Stating the hidden skills expectations as well as the learning goals of a given task helped the kids immensely. Things kids used to have mastered by my grade are kernel skills that need fostering.

On June 4 we recognize Tom Longboat’s remarkable athletic achievements and his role in breaking barriers and inspiring generations. Born on Six Nations of the Grand River Territory, Longboat was a member of the Wolf Clan.

I’ve heard more real concern about personal safety from elected folks over the last year than at any point ever in 20 years of political work. What ⁦@CharlieAngusNDP⁩ details here - including threats & ppl doxxing *his children*- should worry us all. https://t.co/ycI2uYfzNL

Breaking down #ADHD.

[Sharon Swan @Ms_SwanSPS]

@saramilroy @mrccheney Kid’s access to quality accommodations shouldn’t be dependent on an advocate! Best practices should be the norm! I’m sorry this is happening.

[Sharon Swan @Ms_SwanSPS]

@saramilroy @mrccheney Yet we know kids do better when they take a test on the same space they learned the material! That’s rough!

What ADHD Is Not...

ADHD is not a behaviour disorder
ADHD is not an illness or a disease
ADHD is not only a childhood disorder
ADHD is not due to bad parenting
ADHD does not affect your intelligence
ADHD is not caused by too much screen time
ADHD is not caused by too much sugar

How fabulous is this. The first ever @thepwhlofficial opening faceoff at the old Maple Leaf Gardens. @PWHL_Toronto vs. @PWHL_NewYork. Legendary Billy Jean King handled the ceremonial opening faceoff. #history #herstory #hockey
