@85ajj85 We used Vretta for Social 30-1 on Thursday. It was chaotic.

@mrbgilson @AlbertaEd Did your students use Vretta? So grateful we haven’t adopted yet.

@85ajj85 I managed to blend in well - I've never worn a blazer so many days in a row 😂

@KayleyBowie You look like you could be a Leg Member ❤️

What an amazing experience this was! Highly recommend to any interested teachers (especially anyone who teaches Social Studies) #abti2023

@Bhsteeler What a great way to honor him. Is this at Balmoral?

Miss my friend Justin everyday, just over three years gone.

One of the more surprising things I’ve learned in my years as a marriage and family therapist is that pets are more than just “man’s best friend”—most families see them as *actual* members of the family system. The thing that finally made me see it clearly was grief. (1)

@Bhsteeler Hope you all had a wonderful day!!

Big day for the Holland clan oldest daughter now a married young woman. Congrats to Taylor and Jack. #nextsteps

@koster_paige The hypocrisy is unreal.

Alberta “FIGHTING FOR FREEDOM BUT NOT FREEDOM TO LOVE OR FREEDOM TO YOUR OWN BELIEF SYSTEM *unless it’s the one we like*. JUST FREEDOM TO HATE.”

@MrHebertPE Absolutely. I still use it -- I will send you a DM.

@KayleyBowie Awesome! Hope all is well! It’s been a while. They gave me grade 8 social this year and I’d love to use your created content to help me plan it bcuz your stuff was amazing! Do you still have those websites your built?

@KayleyBowie Hey Kayley! You still a Twitter, X I guess now, user? Got a question for you re: your gamification of social 8!

I feel seen. #teacherproblems

@jestdempsey Amazing! When I started, I could barely run a km. I worked my way up to a half marathon. Now I'm a fairly regular runner. For me, it's never been fun or enjoyable while running - but I feel amazing after. You've got this!!

@nosuchthing Deeply disappointed that there was no clip of you all galloping around on your hobby horses.

The moment @sallyephillips presented us with her works of art at @sohotheatre: apple.co/nosuchthingasa…

Finally made a decision and got around to it -- very excited to start my M.Ed in Leadership with @cityu in October!

@JTweedleRD Was awesome to see you with this group in the parade!

@vancan19 I somehow slept through it. I'm so bummed I missed it - I love thunderstorms!!

Did anyone in #RedDeer or central Alberta sleep between 5:00 and 6:00 a.m. this morning? Cuz goodness, that was quite the thunder and lightning. #abstorm

To all my Alberta educators out there with their Masters in Education - what institution did you go with? What were the pros, cons, and cost? Trying to weigh my options for the near future. #abed

In our research we found that women were told they were too young to lead, too old to lead...and middle age wasn't quite right either. As it turns out no age is the right age to be a woman leader. See my latest @HarvardBiz article for solutions. hbr.org/2023/06/women-…

@meagandoesstuff I used it yesterday. I got absolutely stunned reactions and then insane laughter. One kid told me it was their favourite thing I'd ever said 😂 Thanks for that!

@KayleyBowie PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE share the reactions, I BEG OF YOU. 🤣

Trying to find appropriate ways to describe the kids to my husband, who is away working overtime. So far descriptions include: • temperamental sasshole • spicy meatball • over tired and falling apart like a day-old crumpet • sweet pest #parenting

@SeeClickFlash @citynewscalgary If you actually look at the results, the NDP only took about 10% more of the vote than the UCP. My students elected the UCP in our area. So no, I really don't believe it's because teachers are pushing the NDP. If that was the case, there would have been a much larger margin.

@citynewscalgary And predominantly NDP-voting teachers in no way influenced the outcome?

It doesn’t count, but 170,000 Alberta students voted in a mock student vote for the Alberta Election this week, selecting a majority NDP government. calgary.citynews.ca/2023/06/01/alb…
