This would help with some of the exams questions I’ve had this year. Might not be in time for this year, but I know many Ts will be looking forward to this feature. #tvdsbtech x.com/itechteach/sta…

Exciting news, Thames Valley DSB ! All students and Ts now have access to Adobe Spark – now Adobe Creative Cloud Express accounts that are integrated with our Google accounts. Details shared with schools via email. Let the storytelling begin! spark.adobe.com/about/page

Just learned about a huge repository of Implementation Resources for Read&Write including sample lessons for ELL. Who knew?! Go to training.texthelp.com, log in, then Courses> Implementation Resources> School. Great webinar! @texthelp Digital Tools to Support ELL #tvdsb

Anyone still missing Bitstrips? Pixton is the new version of this online tool to make comics. New update includes New Class Photo Feature (Like Bitstrips), and improved graphics. Works on iPads, Chromebooks, Tablets and Computers. app.pixton.com/#/edu #tvdsbtech

Yes @mrslauraleeper! I just talked about this with Sabrina Tyrer today at our Math AQ. I love QFT to get kids asking questions that they need to answer. Drives their research in a meaningful and purposeful way. #tvdsbtech

Cleaning out the office and remembering great times!! #tvdsbiCon #tvdsb @montesattvdsb Diana Hughes (she/her) Shereen Miller David Carruthers Dawn Telfer Katie Jeffries

Just listened to the first episode. Yes, an American show, but so fascinating. Lots to think about. « Looking for a shared sense of reality » If you like podcasts, it’s worth throwing in the rotation. podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/nic…

KAMALA!!! What an incredible day. Even as a Canadian, this is such an important and groundbreaking event. Feeling so optimistic. #InaugurationDay

How much fun is this while learning some new coding skills?! Google cast is such a fast easy way to let students share their work. Love it The Library Mouse ! x.com/hilary_paterso…

Yes! This is exactly how I used my About page in GC. Awesome for early finishers, and a great way for kids to start the morning while I collected, signed, greeted, etc. Thanks for the great template, John R. Sowash - some new additions for my go-to sites. #tvdsbtech x.com/jrsowash/statu…

This year, 60 #tvdsb elementary schools are participating in our CODE project: Global Competencies and Inquiry in the Tech-Enhanced Class. Ts in the project- here’s a hashtag you might want to check out to keep the GC conversation going online: #TVDSBglobal

The conversation about evidence of learning is one of my favourite parts of New Teacher Report Card Training with #tvdsb. Balancing the assessment of products with observations and conversations is so important when we think about assessing Global Competencies. #TVDSBglobal

Assessment is a verb, not a noun. It’s something you do, not something you give and take. Ideas from Launch author John Spencer’s blog, which I’ve been enjoying lately. About assessment in PBL, but so many parallels with IBL and Global Competencies. Dr. John Spencer #TVDSBglobal

Awesome work, Katrina! So many great questions about space coming from your Ss. Natalie Panek is a must follow for you and your class. An amazing brilliant Canadian making her dreams reality with space exploration. Maybe an expert who could connect via Google Hangout?? #TVDSBglobal x.com/katrinabtvdsb/…

Wow, Katrina! You don’t waste any time! Love how you incorporated the GCs with ‘I can’ statements into your student reflections. #TVDSBglobal Katrina Brown 🇺🇦🇨🇦 x.com/katrinabtvdsb/…

1:1 Business session! Talking about how to learn with (and from) students using Chromebooks to search for extensions in the Chrome Web Store. They used Screencastify to show how to add and use the extension, and a review. Thanks for sharing Alicia Cheshire! Awesome! #tvdsbtech

Just learned about a great mind mapping tool in our Chromebook Business session. So many applications! Sign-in with Google, easy to collaborate, and download to PDF. Awesome tool! coggle.it #tvdsbtech

To reach our Ss, our team paired the Global Competencies from TVDSB Rethink with some ‘I Can’ statements using student friendly language. We shared with our CODE participants in March, but word has spread! Here’s a link to PDF as requested: drive.google.com/open?id=1dEt2I… #tvdsbglobal
