Proud of our students participating in this championship bracket. As a 'A' school, we are proud we've qualified for the quarter finals.

Finished reading @patricklencioni latest book, The 6 Types of Working Genius. This model has absolutely transformed how I think about work processes; what I love about this model is the speed at which it can be understood and applied! #work #workinggenius #leadership

A child's behavior isn't about me.
They're not doing this to me.
It's a symptom like a sneeze showing us a cold, a cut showing there's a wound, and a scab showing us healing.
This behavior is showing us that the nervous system is rough. Can we become curious? What is underneath?

@UnitCircleRummy @googledrive That is where my issues are ... shared with me is not sorting properly at all.

[Quentin Flokstra @qflokstra]

Anyone else having issues w/ how @googledrive is sorting folders/files particularly the "Shared with me" portion? Cannot get my most recent files to be at the top no matter what I try.

@AppleSupport That works great ... didn't see that little popout menu. Great to have this as an update.

[Quentin Flokstra @qflokstra]

Was happy to see that Mac Mail now has undo send with the latest @Apple update; now to add scheduled send. #apple

[Quentin Flokstra @qflokstra]

@googledrive Nope that didn't help. Have reset cookies ... have it sorted by Last Modified ... the Sort Order is "Last Month, Earlier this Week, Yesterday". Something is out of sync with @googledrive @GoogleForEdu #edtech #GAFE #googledrive

@MisterCavey @DSpyksma @DanBeerens @d_mulder @Owen_Webb @gracelovoo @beim_m @hyoungth @janice__mac @ToddWhitaker @yulingleephd @b14young @ywpenner @MrRileyDueck Fully agree with this @MisterCavey. If school work is "googleable" / "AI writeable" it needs to be revisited. What is distinctly human based activity/reasoning that needs to be focused on?

[Quentin Flokstra @qflokstra]

We need to connect before we correct. Excellent insights on trauma informed teaching practice. #InspirEdConvention

[Quentin Flokstra @qflokstra]

Being challenged to think through what are our cultural scripts that exist in our schools. What are the norms that may be hidden to some in our school community? #inspirEdConvention #bcnwedcon

[Quentin Flokstra @qflokstra]

Excited to be back in person for #bcnwedcon @InspirEDConv.

Remembrance chapel is always great. This is a video we show each year that is quite powerful.

Getting ready for the important #RemembranceDay Chapel tomorrrow. Loving the student contributions to creating the tone of remembrance for entry to our gym.

Ever since @Apple stopped supporting @TweetDeck as a desktop application, i've found it cumbersome to keep up to date on Twitter. Any other non-browser based applications people are using? #technology #twitter

[Quentin Flokstra @qflokstra]

Wondering if anyone has uncovered the solution to searches within @googledrive that include shared drives. #edtech #technology #gdrive #googleEDU

[Quentin Flokstra @qflokstra]

Disappointed that TweetDeck for Mac will be discontinued effective May 1. Prefer a standalone platform vs. a web-based platform.
