What a great, well researched response to an issue that has been mentioned several times in MB Edu. The Cell Phone Debate fishbowlteaching.com/2024/01/the-ce… @MissLwbt

“Stanford researchers scoured every reputable study for the link between video games and gun violence that politicians point to. Here's what the review found | Fortune” I hope this argument can finally be put to bed. Some other interesting findings… 🧵 fortune.com/2023/05/02/sta…

Chi-Miigwech to the community and volunteers for helping to make the @RETSDschools 2023 Community Powwow a fabulous one as we honoured the First Nations, Metis, and Inuit youth in grade 12 as they move on to their next journey in life!

The Massive-Verse is such an interesting exploration in how comic book universe can engage with readers. Got the chance to talk to @KyleDHiggins and @m_busuttil about the all cross media elements happening in the Massive-Verse and how it's building a connection with readers!

Calling all comic nerds: Read @conBoyd's "The Nature of Superheroes" for a close reading of how superhero are (or are not) saving the planet. @WorkingDraftMag 2023.workingdraftmagazine.com/2023/03/10/the…

@MsDDangerfield That made my day! I was inspired by the excellent conversation with such engaged readers. Thank you for having me!

A grade 1 student was inspired by @klboyds fairytale read-aloud today and began his own “Once upon a time” story during mindfulness time!

"Esports.. often reach a group of students who might otherwise be disengaged... in the traditional extracurricular offerings...These students find a home, a community, a place to belong..." Such a powerful statement about the value of #esportsEDU #MSEA_gg bitly.ws/w7mP

Always proud of the work that the teacher librarians and library technicians do in all @RETSDschools It makes a difference to students ❤️

@Reyes_Rach @jason_drysdale Loved this quote, “true intellectual engagement, not just having fun. Too often we reduce engagement to hands-on "activities" or to a lesson that's fun and interactive, but we don't necessarily connect that interactivity to academic rigor or cognitive capacity building.”

“Equity is about making sure every student is a powerful learner.”. Great article on culturally responsive teaching, pedagogy of compliance, competence preceding confidence, messy work igniting engagement, and unfinished learning. @jason_drysdale @klboyds

Got the opportunity to write about one of my favourite comics and all the exciting things the team is creating! (P.s. Everyone should go read Radiant Black) screenrant.com/radiant-black-…

@Henderson204 I love when this happens! So much more meaning is constructed in that space between two texts.

When parents talk to me about gaming and screens, it’s always about fear. ‘Will they get addicted?’ they ask me. ‘I can’t control my own use, how can a child do it?’. There’s so much fear that we have no time to talk about the benefits. So here are some of the things I see. 1/

“video games are a waste of time” Meanwhile gamers are like…..

Interesting study if the effects of digital media on children’s intelligence. #VideoGamesAreEdTech “.. a cross-sectional study found that children who spent more time playing video games (in the high tertile) had a positive association with intelligence.” nature.com/articles/s4159…
