Happy Natal Day from #NovaScotia!

The number of educators at #ITCamp2025 says it all. These are people who love what they do—spending time learning, collaborating, + getting *fired up* with new ideas to bring back to their learners.
The energy of fun + learning at this conference is palpable. Huge shoutout to the coordinators!

Graphic with James Baldwin quote. “Those who say it can’t be done are usually interrupted by those doing it.”

There’s not many feelings better than doing what others told you was impossible.

Enjoyed learning about a couple of apps by Tracy + Lauchie MacKinnon at #ITCamp2025 this afternoon:
- Wayground
- snorkl

Great to have a chance to try them out as competitors and from the teacher side 🍎

Markers, box of suckers, a remote control to advance my slides, “whose turn is it” tracking sheet, rebus puzzles

What do dice, buckets, whiteboards, and chopsticks have in common?
They’re all headed to my #ITCamp2025 workshop: DIY Classroom Olympics. Let’s build brilliant events for your classes - your way. #ProfessionalLearning #ShakingUpLearning

Parental support.
Student effort + accountability.
Proper resources to deliver programming to meet student needs and interests.

Our schools can not wait for enough school counsellors
…for enough teachers
…for enough staff to properly address the needs of our students.
