Learning in school vs. learning through play

+1!!! Not only are the commercials too long, TSN seems to have a knack for going to commercials at the least opportune time! 🤬

And, probably 9 out of 10 of the 1 out of 10 who said they did teach about CRT, didn’t either.

Today, $2 from every burger (and we mean ALL burgers including plant-based, veggie, fish and more!) sold across BC at White Spot, Triple O’s & onboard 11 BC Ferries offering White Spot, will be donated to the Canadian Red Cross in support of BC Wildfire Relief Efforts. 🍔

Very excited to see that HookProductvT links might soon be useable on iPad! The missing link! A great (and essential) tool keeps getting better and better! x.com/HookProductvT/…

Today is Claudette Colvin’s 82nd birthday. On March 12, 1955, in Montgomery, Alabama, 15-year-old Claudette refused to give up her seat to a white woman during her bus ride.  She said, “”It’s my constitutional right to sit here as much as that lady.” She was then arrested.

Well, TSN has yet again demonstrated their uncanny ability to ruin Formula 1 by cutting to commercials at the absolute WORST time. 😡😤🤬

Hey #bcedchat and #elachat experts! I’m teaching Lit Studies 12 in semester 2. Very curious to hear: how have you changed it since I took it a long time ago? And what texts do you bring to it now? What has been moved aside? All voices welcome!

Teachers: Today is the last chance to request free education license for @craftdocsapp Pro. This tool is incredible for your own notes and keeping information organized, but also a great publishing platform for sharing with students, parents, and colleagues. #bcedchat #PBLchat

“People with passion can change the world for the better.”— SJ. Hard to believe it’s been 10 years. Celebrating you today and always.

#OnThisDay in 1955, Montgomery, Alabama teen Claudette Colvin refused to give up her seat to a white woman on a city bus. Colvin was motivated by school lessons about Sojourner Truth, Harriet Tubman, and the U.S. Constitution. #HiddenHerstory #WomensHistoryMonth

#OnThisDay in 1965, 600 marchers were attacked on #Selma’s Edmund Pettus Bridge during a Voting Rights protest. Known as #BloodySunday, this march was one of three from Selma to Montgomery. Learn more on our blog: s.si.edu/2FvhwZQ #APeoplesJourney #ANationsStory

The highest compliment from someone who disagrees with you is not “You were right.” It’s “You made me think.” Good arguments help us recognize complexity where we once saw simplicity. The ultimate purpose of debate is not to produce consensus. It’s to promote critical thinking.

This is the quote of the week. 👇🏼

Someone recently asked me one thing I look for when I visit schools, walk through halls, and watch teachers do what they do best. My answer? Curiosity. ✅ curious kids ✅ teachers planning for curiosity ✅ teachers modelling curiosity ✅ teacher being curious themselves
