@CanPatsFan1990 This looks like a great way to engage multiple stakeholders in a single platform. I wonder if it would be prohibitive for some boards due to the cost - $5500 for a school of 1000 students for one year.

@CanPatsFan1990 I like that not all of the content needs to be created by teachers, too! Less pressure and creates accountability for students #career tech methods

Simple, easy-to-use, accessible - Gmail is an effective tool for connecting teachers and families. Use Board email for school and Board-related communication and use Gmail to communicate with parents and students - especially if you’re a Classroom user! #careertechmethods @gmail

@mrslyonslibrary @RangerRidley I never would have believed it until that time a porcupine decided our front step and door (😳) looked delicious! More to that story, but I’ll save it for when you are in grade 8, girls 😉 Keep exploring. Saw this on my hike the other day...definitely a beaver.

[Cindy Bourque @cbourquesclass]
