no more repl.it for education....now what. What are other CS educators hoping to use moving forward (I'm panicking a bit about SEM 2) #onted #computerscience
Hard to know exactly what it’ll look like, but getting ideas ready for next year. Apparently if you soldier more, you do get better! #icd2o #ontariocodes @adafruit

Coding and then using our micro:bits as conductivity sensors to learn about insulators and conductors in #snc1w #tldsblearns @microbit_edu @InkSmith3D @infobml
Dipping our toes into coding in #SNC1W w/ Inputs & Outputs to intro use. Super grateful for @InkSmith3D climate action kits and @microbit_edu. Link to Coding Lab - bit.ly/codingLab1 #OntED @staoapso
Thinking of using @lisaannefloyd 's algebraic expressions and coding (outreach.tvolearn.com/teache…) idea and mixing it with Turtle Python for visualization and some tinkering to explore more of y=mx+b in #mth1w tomorrow. #ontariocodes #onted
Finally did coding that wasn't just "follow me" in #mth1w - we coded our names in turtle python! #onted #ontariocodes

Hahahahaha the government lawyer now talking about how asynchronous learning is bad for students because they are learning alone.
Then why will @Sflecce only allow students to fulfil the mandatory 2 online credits in asynchronous courses??? – at Toronto, Ontario

BREAKING:
Man that earns in 3 months what a CUPE worker earns in a full year outraged at cost of living request.
Hey @tldsb if you are looking for a classroom or department that you’d like to pilot this with…🙋♂️🙋♂️🙋♂️
Thank you @FCLEdu for the @microbit_edu . @OCDSB schools will be receiving them to support coding in science from grades 1-8 and destreamed grade 9 science.
So amazing! Anyone at #tldsblearns have their microbits still??? Check this out
The new micro:bit Python editor is now in beta. 🎉
Packed with features designed to overcome some common barriers to starting out with text-based coding in class
Try it out now in your classroom and help to make it even better with your feedback

JUST ONCE, I want to be part of a staff meeting where the agenda reads ‘Things We Are Removing From Teacher Plates.’
In my 24 years of teaching, I’ve NEVER been this exhausted.
Ryan Smith retweeted
Teacher: I feel so exhausted all the time
Central Office: Have you tried yoga or running or meditation
Let’s stop telling teachers to do yoga and meditate (UNLESS that’s what they want and choose to do). Instead, let’s advocate for making teaching a sustainable career!

Ontario parents of perspective Gr 9 students.
When visiting schools in the coming weeks ask the following two Q:
- what is the current max class size of your Gr 9 applied classes?
- what will be the max class size of combined Gr 9 classes next year?
The answers may shock you.
Oh my goodness. Let’s not even discuss supporting in the background/setting up/TELT-DELC stuff. Don’t miss that part of the job.

Non-Teacher: Must be nice having the weekends off.
Teacher: Must be nice actually being off when you’re off.
