Congratulations @theisabellaliu ! The nomination was a pleasure to write and I was constantly in awe of your teaching practice and achievements as I gathered evidence. This write up only scratches the surface. Thank you to everyone who contributed to this nomination!

Halfway through my first of two engineering camps and I'm reminded how much I love my career. Today my 10 year old campers learned how to solder and loved it.

Today is Ms Dianne More's last day before retiring after 50 years of teaching in @YRDSB . She spent 27 in elementary, 23 in secondary and was active in clubs and coaching right up to the end. Her son attended MDHS and worked with her as a teacher! What an amazing career!

This weekend, experiment in Tinkercad and create your own custom bubble wands! Please share your designs so we can see what you've come up with! 🔎 🫧 🔎 🫧 🔎 🫧 🔎 🫧 🔎 🫧 🔎 🫧 🔎 🫧 tinkercad.com/projects/Custo… #MadeWithTinkercad #MakeAnything #WeekendProject

The Connector Shapes under Hardware in the Tinkercad Shapes Panel allow you to easily make interchangeable figurines or unique pieces of jewelry. Check them out and combine them with your designs to see what you can create! #MakeAnything #3Ddesign #MadeWithTinkercad

Helping students to understand how they're unique in how they learn can make a huge impact on more than academic performance. utoronto.ca/news/u-t-s-top…

This learning summary from the woodworking unit of Grade 9 Intro to Technology truly expresses why every student needs to take the course. #MDHSTech @YRDSBPathways

Using @tinkercad to model their woodworking projects helped students find flaws and evolve their designs before cutting any wood.

MDHS represented @YRDSB well at the Provincial Archery Championships. Ashley Cao - 1st Girls 🥇 Brian and William 5th/6th Boys Boys Standard Team - Silver 🥈 Girls Standard Team - Bronze 🥉 120+ signed up in January, 10 made the team in March. We're just getting started...

Our @YRDSB MDHS Robotics team placed 3rd at Robocup in the autonomous rescue maze today at @standrews1899 It was a great day of events and we'll definitely be back next year! #YRDSBRobotics #MDHS

@grant_hutchison @standrews1899 Autonomous maze was all I could muster after starting at MDHS in October but I'll be back with more teams next year. Btw I sat at a table at lunch today where everybody knew you!

@VernonKee @standrews1899 Do you have a team competing in the soccer game?

At @standrews1899 for Robocup in the greatest high school makerspace I've ever seen. It's a fully stocked massive space. The dedication to innovation here is impressive.

He was the head of the Math Department who helped start the Math Clinic to raise our provincial low EQAO marks. Mr Chiu volunteered to run the parent workshop, supported the program and helped it yield the results we see today. torontosun.com/news/local-new…

Mr Paul Chiu was a beloved math teacher who retired from Danforth Collegiate many years ago but had an effect on the school and students that lasts to this day.

@JarushaG @tinkercad I imported them from Thingiverse then let them copy my template to reconfigure the pieces.

@VernonKee @tinkercad Did students create the Lego pieces in Tinkercad?

From Lego to @tinkercad to floorplancreator.net, Gr9 Tech students created their own 1-bedroom condos to learn about a design process, architecture, and the high cost of housing in Toronto.

Gr9 Tech students utilized empathy to design innovative assistive devices in @tinkercad to help someone with a physical disability. A week long iterative engineering process produced one-handed keyboards, grips, custom fit hearing aids and more. @YRDSB

27 of my badminton players attenend my lunch n' learn on Competitive Sports Psychology. Using @PearDeck students were able express their feelings as they developed tools to reduce anxiety and maximize their enjoyment of the upcoming @yraa_news tournament.
