It's exciting to see it live again, and not a month from now!

And just like that, I'm caught up with the #terryverse by @TerryMooreArt What a journey. I hope there's another adventure ahead. #katchoo #comics #SummerReading

I've just started reading "Ever" and will likely make it through Serial and Parker Girls by the end of the week. These characters have been such a constant for the last thirty years... (I still believe the show Girl Meets World was heavily modeled after it... Prove me wrong!)

Have ADHD? Know someone with ADHD? #Teacher (which 💯 means you have students with ADHD)? Read "Button Pusher" by @tylerpage! Best book I've read in ages. It explains #ADHD in an engaging Graphic Novel format for all ages. @torontolibrary link: torontopubliclibrary.ca/detail.jsp?Ent…

With #spiderman back in Across The #Spiderverse I thought I'd share these two paintings @ShawnDaley created for my daughter Gwen, and my son Miles. #WhatIf superheroes lived in #Toronto? Check out his current projects at shawndaley.ca

Street Fighter got a little bit strange #PS4share

Very pleased to be part of unleashing learning this year! Digital literacy is such an important skill for all educators to put into practice! #tdsbUL23 #tdsb

I want to thank @RyanHigginsRyan for the site justcomicnews.com I had no idea that @danielclowes was releasing a new book! But, now I do! Amazing news on all fronts.

Hey, @Doncates, I haven't read Thor since before the Onslaught era. I want to jump back in, but have no idea where to start. Any thoughts on what trade to start with?

When asking students to self-select their texts for literature circles, they need the same resource that teachers never seem to have enough of: time. Honour the self-selection process, by providing them that resource using this #WhatBinder lesson plan. whatbinder.com/2022/12/20/3-0…

The #WhatBinder English course pack is being updated once again. This resource for #teachers provides a free unit-guide for running Literature Circles. Individual lessons will be updated as the updates continue. #EdChat #LitCircle whatbinder.com/2022/12/16/3-0…

Aside from "time" what is the one thing #educators need more of, to do their job effectively? #teaching #teachers #edchat

Introduce #poetry, not by fussing over every small detail, but encouraging students to make personal connections between the work and their own experience. By making the #poem meaningful to themselves, with this lesson plan they make poetry meaningful. whatbinder.com/2022/09/22/2-0…

This lesson plan and slide deck scaffolds your approach to teaching types of poetry. By introducing students to a variety of different poem types, and giving them an opportunity to create their own, you provide a safe place for them to explore the form. whatbinder.com/2022/09/20/2-0…

The best way to get students to engage with poetry is to create poetry. This #WhatBinder lesson plan includes a classroom ready lesson plan, and assignment sheet that you can use tomorrow! Students create insightful poetry using an accessible template. whatbinder.com/2022/09/19/2-0…

Introduce students to identifying, and using poetic devices using this classroom-ready lesson plan and slide deck. Teach literary devices, through multimodal supports that might just lead to you dancing in front of your entire class! #WhatBinder #EdChat whatbinder.com/2022/09/15/2-0…
