“We have serious concerns about how students with special needs will be supported . . . and with the disconnect from the physical classroom, this support is needed now more than ever.”

Up to 25.000 education workers are now joining the unemployment line, leaving vulnerable students & their families without the educational & emotional supports they need. Tell your MLA to reverse this decision -> https://t.co/jA2BwHBcUF #ableg#abed#covid19ab
Take a moment to call your MLA about the recent changes to education funding that will see substitute teachers, education assistants and other support staff laid off. We need to keep supports to assist teachers, students and their parents. #abed https://t.co/V4j9lZmSs7
@MiedemaTeacher I also think we, at least here in BC, keep getting new curriculum from the gov’t. Our hands are full keeping up with all the new gov’t initiatives that we don’t have a chance to actually use new ways of teaching!
@FaithBierma @MiedemaTeacher Yes! The time! It’s not like just reading about it...you need time to play around with a new technology and figure out how it’s best going to work for you!
@DannyMooers I think sifting through all the knowledge our students are inundated with thanks to technology is where the true knowledge is coming from today
“Will having more technology automatically improve student learning at school? Definitely not...you need a plan that embraces what tech can do to improve learning...” -Jennifer Gonzales on “The Cult of Pedagogy” #DC508
Michael Trucano argues that computer labs, although often set up for practical reasons, aren’t the best choice for integrating tech. It’s better to have tech in classrooms where the core subjects are occurring! Couldn’t agree more! #DC508
“Is the Lecture Dead?” Not according to Haskell and Friesen! We do need to work hard at making our presentation relevant, natural, and from a real speaker, though. My question: presentation now trumps what we are saying? The implications could be interesting... #DC508
