@TraaDyLiooar1 That view from your classroom window is beautiful!

@diegoap @CathyNDavidson Hello @diegoap! I’m using D2L, and I’ve set up most assignments as selectbox items with “missing” and “complete” as the options, and then I use final adjusted grade instead of relying on gradebook calculations. I’m still new to this process, but it seems to be working for me.

@TraaDyLiooar1 @AndreSLeger @jamiebelec @JenniferRHaley @AnalyticPatrick @DanielJLiao CALL is always my favourite conference of the year too! Thanks for sharing your thoughts here and throughout the conference. I feel like I’ll be thinking through pieces of this one for quite a long time!

[Erica @ericakelly72]

@TraaDyLiooar1 What a great idea! I’d love to hear more about how you set this up and how students responded—what a great presentation this would be for this year’s @CALL_ONTARIO conference!

@RebekahODell1 I really loved The Wild Robot, and it’s one I could picture kids at lots of levels enjoying.

Next week ➡️➡️ Join the #ChewOnThis Rally on Oct 17 at Parliament Hill! Excited to have speakers from @Disability_WP and @Pauktuutit, and a special poetry performance from @KingKimbit ✨

I have a zillion open tabs & pages of notes from the @CALL_ONTARIO conference thanks to fantastic presentations from @FritzTesha, @Msektateacher, @ProfJessF, @Prasonik, Jamie Zeppa & Taunya Tremblay, @AnnGagne—& many more! Thanks for sharing your energy and ideas. I loved it all!

[Erica @ericakelly72]

@TraaDyLiooar1 Absolutely! I love the idea of using these tools for learning.

[Erica @ericakelly72]

@AnnGagne What a fantastic session! Thanks Ann!

[Erica @ericakelly72]

Thank you, @AnnGagne, for the reminder that “this is a safe space” is not a performative declaration! I’m learning lots from you already about trauma-informed teaching. #DCUTL2022

@dannymichel @HillsideFest We were so excited to see your name on the list! Thanks, @dannymichel and @HillsideFest! We’re counting down the days!!!

[Erica @ericakelly72]

@AnnGagne I’d be so grateful for a session like that!

[Erica @ericakelly72]

@TraaDyLiooar1 Those are great Saturday plans! Do Not Say We Have Nothing is so beautifully written—that’s one I’d re-read for sure.

@melyoung00 @TraaDyLiooar1 @cambriancollege @LambtonCollege @Laurier Is this linking to the correct document? The Google doc looks to be about something different…

@KindnessLDNONT @BooksYarnLogic @BooksYarnLogic is smart and insightful and kind, and I appreciate that she challenges me to keep learning and thinking, always with such generosity and always with community building in mind.

[Erica @ericakelly72]

I’m reading drafts of my students’ research letters. There’s lots of discouraging news out there lately, but these students are writing strong, passionate, confident letters about issues that matter to them, and they’re demanding change, and I love it.

@SarniaJournal I worked with Carla both at BWH and Lambton College and she is an amazing nurse. I have looked forward to working with her/seeing her mentor students. She is a kind human. However, I'm struggling with a few comments. Some, because the inaccuracies create misinformation. /1
