Hey @nspfpe.bsky.social when our government doesn't properly fund Public Libraries, is it any wonder the state of our school ones?

"Chief Librarian Eric Stackhouse for the Pictou-Antigonish Regional Library, which manages libraries across both counties, says their operating grant from the province has not changed in six years, while in the same time, minimum wage has gone up more than 31 per cent and inflation 21 per cent."

CTEANS at West Bedford High School … really pleasantly surprised with an industry (Consulab) presenter in my afternoon session … one of our hands-on challenges!

Anyone fellow educators recommend an air mouse and/or wireless presenter that is Chrome OS compatible that DOESN’T have a laser pointer? Main application is remotely playing/pausing videos (like on YouTube). Had a simple Kensington Wireless Presenter (great with Google Slides) but no YouTube control

My late father loved Gravenstein apples. He tried to grow an apple tree on his property. I remember his excitement the first year that it bore fruit, followed by his disappointment when the neighbourhood deer ate almost every one of them! Looks like the tree wanted to honour his passing this year.

Very nice! What size roughly are the trays/drawers? I think I’ve seen some things like that at Winners …

(2 of 2) Are the final decision-makers in public education perhaps biased based on the likelihood that the models proposed (in terms of class size and supports available for students with ever-increasing complex needs) are so very different than what they experienced themselves in public education?

(1 of 2) Had a <not random> thought today while working with Regional colleagues & our school admins today…

You must be home in the land of giant fiddles again? Enjoy!

When you’ve used the same product for more than 35 yrs (maybe longer) it’s understandable that one would get a little antsy when stores stop stocking it … last can on the left I bought at local pharmacy for $6.99 about 4 months ago. Reluctant purchase on right? 2 for $38.99! Tariffs? Availability?

He looks very dignified; like he should be wearing a bow tie; how fitting.

Enjoying keynote from Anouck Wipprecht at #ITCAMP2025 … when she showed us the Drinkbot dress (which actually made cocktails) though, I was pondered how far we’ve come in portable mixology!

Such a tasty math problem, especially with some sweet and sour sauce!

If chicken nuggets only came in boxes of 6, 9, and 20, what is the largest order not possible?

Let's take a look at the Chicken McNugget Theorem!

Hey HRCE teachers! Did you see the updated Canva has dropped in our region?! @tilthrce.bsky.social

Happy Mother’s Day … hope it’s a great one for you both up in heaven!

Four years ago today mom. Now at least I know Dad is with you. Love you both and so grateful for what you did for me and my family.

Listening to @cbcnews-rss.bsky.social and hearing about the body cam experiment @loblaws.bsky.social is proposing to curb theft. Perhaps if they weren’t trying to rob consumers blind every day, they wouldn’t need to work so hard to do that.

Thanks so much. Upon hearing that Bruce Veinotte passed recently, it took me back to a story about his father Paul first taking me to your dad to “stitch me up” after I fell and cut my hand by the fire station … so I think we both were very blessed. I’m at peace knowing my dad is with my mom now!

When my mom passed, nearly four years ago, I shared her passing on what was still Twitter. Today I mark the passing of my Dad on BlueSky … a long time educator in our area with a legacy & sphere of influence I can only hope to scratch the surface of! He knew the value of hard work as youngest of 10!
