@tausman @C_R_James Two of my favourite math teachers. Congratulations!

Married my amazing partner @C_R_James on July 16th. Here's to a lifetime of happiness, reading, research, teaching, and exploring the world together! 🌈

Robotics and Coding unit station 4. Makeblock Ultimate 2.0. Programming the robot to react when a hand blocks the ultrasonic sensor.

Station 3 in Robotics and Coding unit. Kitronik robot controlled by a Micro:Bit. It would be describing a square if the robot didn't pull to the right.

Station 2 of Robotics and Coding unit. Lego motors controlled by Python code running on Raspberry pi Build HAT. Students figured out loops their first time writing Python.

Robotics and Coding unit to finish the grade 5/6 year. Lego Spike is station 1. Love the hands-on coding activity.

@ClareMurphyBU Congrats on the new Job Clare. They are lucky to have you.

#10YearChallenge 10 years ago, I didn’t know… I didn’t know my playing career would be cut short. I didn’t know my first tournament starting would be my last weekend playing. I didn’t know my career high would be my career end. 🧵👇

These two guys flew this clock around the world in different directions and proved Einstein's theory of relativity - 50 years ago. The airline tickets (the clock needed seats too) and hotels cost $8000. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hafele%E2…

@tausman @WQSB_HadleyPW Love it. Few things engage a class more than something exploding.

The hydrogen balloon never ceases to be a hit for chemical changes in gr9 science! @WQSB_HadleyPW

A thought-provoking video about VARK learning styles. youtu.be/rhgwIhB58PA The second part of the video is also a insightful about Google search results.

@sarahbesselink That's awesome Sarah. Congratulations.

So excited to announce this next chapter 🎉🏀

@EducatorJess @tristateach @TorontoStar @BBFarhadi @Chenine @mshagerman @boultif_amal Both positions aren't wrong. There is undoubtedly disaster capitalism at play and if we don't learn from our virtual learning experiences in the last year we miss a tremendous opportunity to adopt new approaches and be more adaptable, flexible and effective educators.

Debate in @TorontoStar re: permanent online learning in #onted w/ @BBFarhadi & Catherine Little. "Disaster capitalism" or capitalizing on what worked? @CHENINE @mshagerman @boultif_amal outline.com/qA7ezG

@MissSLuke @peelengagemath @RonnieChinnick @ahlam_zhy @MrValencia24 @ms_dalessandro @DDWClarke @MrsKeithK @mrmartinEDU @MathBeforeBed @ms_maclean @Mme_Honeywell @OAMEcounts @OAMEtalks @tausman @BerkeleyEverett @RealMcKie @pearse_margie @wheeler_laura @HowWeTeach @peddie_melissa Sketchup or tinkercad. I think both have free versions.

@MissSLuke Congrats Shona. Those are lucky grade 8s.

@stevex Gotcha. Very valid point.

@erichforler Hey Erich! Was just musing that if you’re making 30% guaranteed there’s no impetus to keep the cost of running it low. Stripe is competing on margin so they have to keep the costs down. At 3% with their current processes Apple would be losing money.

Because the App Store backend has never had to compete, it just earned its 30% and wasn’t expected to be profitable, I’ll bet it costs way more to run than, say, Stripe.

@mr_dauncey @AssumptionOCSB @uOttawaEdu @uOttawaUrban @uOttawaBEd Congrats Ethan. Huge win for Assumption.

Excited to announce I'll be joining the team at @AssumptionOCSB for this upcoming school year teaching grade 5/6! @uOttawaEdu @uOttawaUrban @uOttawaBEd

@MissMiaTeaches Fantastic! Love to see fellow nerds embracing the hands-on tech world. That's my kind of learning. More power to him. Now if you can get him to write up his findings, you can make it a cross-curricular assessment with the LA curriculum. 😀

@AnnieClaireBO Oh come on! Your mom would have totally been able to answer both of those.

These two are HILARIOUS. It makes me want to start posting a series of videos with my parents.

@mr_dauncey @OttCatholicSB Congratulations Ethan! Those kids will be lucky to have you.

Happy to announce that I will be joining the @OttCatholicSB occasional teaching roster! I'm excited to start my journey with this great school board!
