Here's one Q...If March Break is indeed delayed in part to discourage travel, will the Ford gov't also delay the March Break for Queen's Park? As we have seen before some MPP's have had trouble saying put #Onpoli #Onted

So Stephen Lecce confirms private schools cannot be forced to delay their March Break, but are strongly encouraged. I thought this was a public health initiative. Doesn't that override the purview of the MoE?!! #OntEd #MarchBreak

The pandemic is being used to cover cuts and push a hybrid model of teaching in public education. We must push back. This model expects workers to teach both online and in person at the same time. Why is this dangerous? 1/

Coolest teacher technology trick I learned this year? Adding the dash (-) between the “t” and “u” of any YouTube video and it takes away the ads and all of that. It’s super cool and makes the video less tacky.

We have a free resource that helps one understand about the Indian Residential School System here: anishinabek.ca/wp-content/upl…

I can’t even begin to imagine the pain people are feeling right now. I am SO sorry. Today I learned the last residential school closed in 1996 - WHAT?!!! Canada, I expected more from you.
