@VirtualGiff @SusanDavid_PhD @matthaig1 I love this!

@SusanDavid_PhD This by @matthaig1. Loved it so much I sketched it.

What's the best mental health-related advice you've ever gotten?

This week my bill for 10 paid sick days will be debated in the Ontario Legislature. Retweet if you support 10 paid sick days and send @fordnation a strong message. #onpoli #PaidSickDays #PaidSickDaysSaveLives #PaidSickDaysNow

@VirtualGiff Windows logo + g opens game mode on a pc. There is an option to record the screen.

I am looking for an app that will allow students to record their own webcam and audio WHILE it is also be used in a Zoom call. Ideas?

@JulieBoulton12 Thank you for this! I tried it today and it made a huge difference:)

Trying to increase participation in my afternoon online classes. Took this idea from a teacher on Twitter - put a sticker on your face every time a student asks/answers a question! Students loved it - also Minions were a hit. 🤣#onted #trying

@L__Ip @michifman It is the best book I have ever read! I binge read it.

#ELLchat_YRDSB-Q3- Learning is a social process. When students are afforded the opportunity to interact with peers, teachers and other experts using L1 they can communicate with confidence, share ideas and explore concepts in an authentic way.

@sohchung @YRDSB_ESL Yes, students can use L1 to grasp key concepts and discuss new learning with confidence and comfort.

Q2. Multilingualism is valued in classrooms where students don't seek permission to use their home language. Rather it's woven into the fabric of everyday school life - home languages are on the walls, conversations in class & discussions with parents #ELLchat_YRDSB @YRDSB_ESL

In it, a young ELL student "illustrates how engagement in learning, particularly for ELL students, is fueled as much by affect as by cognition" I strongly believe that building relationships with students is integral to their learning.

#ELLchat_YRDSB-Q2-The research project entitled "ELL Students Speak for Themselves: Identity Texts and Literacy Engagement" in Multilingual Classrooms by Jim Cummins et. al gives us insight into this question.

#ELLchat_YRDSB A1 Multilingual classrooms honour student voice and help to develop a sense of mattering and belonging. It also helps with parent engagement and community partnerships. When students use L1, it brings attention to proficiency in prior learning.
