#BrucetheChowPup really teaches one about scale at #ATASC2023. This dog is about 10x bigger than what I envisioned from pictures. He's huge! The reality is that I really should have brought my two tiny dogs to make him look that much bigger! His size in this Pic makes sense!

I hope many of you will agree that as @rickygervais declares, that “books [are] a passport to a better life.” I think if you have time today, everyone should try to get to their local library! @rdpl #supportlibraries
I had no money growing up. My dad was a labourer and my mum did everything to make ends meet. Men worked hard. Women worked miracles. But education was free. As was the local library. I knew books were my passport to a better life. #SupportLibraries

I wanted to share with not only the people at my session, but all the teachers at #MYC2023 my presentation on the use of science fiction in science classes. Please contact me with any further questions. Here is the presentation: canva.com/design/DAFgABXHDx8…

There’s no doubt that I learned a tonne—a metric tonne, mind you—at this year’s #NSTA2023 #NSTA23. The only question that I wanted to ask, but never had a chance to, is what some of you are doing for #HighSchool #STEM or #STEAM -based multi-day trips. #NSTA

If you have a link to the information for your #STEM or #STEAM -based trip, ideally here in #America , and this is a trip that you feel your #HighSchool students walked away with so much advancement in #STEM / #STEAM, please respond with either a URL to your trip, or DM me.

Who's still here in Atlanta that wants to keep the 7 am #breakfastdiscussions at the #NSTA2023 conference going tomorrow? We could keep them at the top of the #B section, maybe? The conference might be over, but that doesn't mean our morning discussions need to be! – at Atlanta, GA

Here's some proof that I'm a morning person! This session at #NSTA #NSTA2023 was one of the best ones that I attended at this conference! (But I must admit there's some #science to my facial expression and the caffeine in my vente....) #ATL – at Atlanta, GA
Nothing gets people excited at 8 am on a Friday like @TeachingLC! #NSTA2023

As I flew down to Atlanta, to go to #NSTA23 #NSTA2023, I was lucky enough to see a weather front and its shadow. What better group of people to appreciate a weather front like this one than the teachers at #NSTA? – at Atlanta, GA

As the conclusion of the #atasumcon , @schill_dawg did a great job telling all seven #UCP candidates that their party failed us with education. So well said! #ATASummerConference

It was rather difficult to choose between #1 and #2, @RajanJSaw and @LeelaAheer, but Rajan seemed to have done more research, while Leela seems to have more emotion in what she says. I’m one that always favours research over emotion… #atasumcon #ATASummerConference

According to @ABDanielleSmith , you can only like in three places in #Alberta: -#YYC -#YEG -Rural locations I guess cities like #RedDeer, #Lethbridge, #MedicineHat, #FortMcMurray, and #GRandPrairie are just rural locations. #ATASumCon #ATASummerConference

After the first round of #UCP Candidates at #ATASummerConference #atasumcon, I think there is no question that @RajanJSaw was the winner of Round 1, the intros. Who will win Round Two? @albertateachers @schill_dawg @philmcrae @HQuinnLocal37 @GCarabine @brookwell_don

For Round Three of the #UCP Leaders in the #atasumcon , @dtloewen, as he started speaking, was potentially going to win Round Three, but then he took a wrong turn. #ableg I need to wait a few minutes to declare the official winner.

I’m going to declare Round Three of the #UCP candidates as a bit of a stalemate. Nobody won. #atasumcon Anyone else want to propose a winner? @HQuinnLocal37 @schill_dawg @albertateachers @GCarabine @brookwell_don @philmcrae

I think it is safe to say that @LeelaAheer won Round Two at #ATASummerConference #atasumcon. Even though her answer was likely the lengthiest, her confession to making mistakes, and her promotion of communication between @albertateachers and the Ministry had her win.

That would now put the score at 1-1-0-0-0-0 for @RajanJSaw and @LeelaAheer after two rounds at the #ATASumCon . @schill_dawg @brookwell_don @albertateachers @HQuinnLocal37 @GCarabine @philmcrae @DrAGrace_cyhtt
