Celebrating with staff & students @BowValley yesterday announcing its collaboration with @MicrosoftEduCA to advance their digital strategy! Together, we’re building a blueprint for inclusive learning through digital transformation. Excited for what the future holds!
With this collaboration @BowValley and @microsoftcanada will embark on applied research projects and design learning environments tailored for student success. And through thought leadership events, we will share findings of our collaborative efforts both nationally and globally.
#Learning to use and create with #technology means empowering #Students with dynamic #learningexperiences so they can collaborate and engage. Check out what Sarah Brunner is doing @LethSchDivision!

Great article. Lots to ponder. “#career #development as processes of #learning: reflecting on experience, developing skills and behaviours, forming a career self-concept, and adapting to change and transitions”

Getting ready for our #SXSW2023 panel on #minecraftedu as a learning tool to foster young city builders! @cityofcalgary has been a leader in this space, along with @yyCBEdu.
Dissent? Maybe. It's really more about #growthmindset combined with #curiosity and #imagination where true transformation is possible - something we need especially if we are to design our #inclusivefuture and #DigitalTransformation. It's how we'll reach for more than we are now.
Have you heard of “contributory #dissent”?
In today’s interconnected #business environment, companies won’t be able to solve problems effectively without it.

Another awesome day at @WinnipegSD! This time, a @PlayCraftLearn Teacher Academy.
Lots of great questions and working through how they’ll best use Minecraft in the classroom. It was a great day!
