@joeycoleman.ca just witness a rope rescue- Queen75 rope platform seemed to fall, leaving a man dangling- fortunately in a harness and appeared alert .HFD rescued by breaking window and pulling him in. #hamont

"Oxford becomes first UK university to offer ChatGPT Edu to all staff and students" - imagining a lot of staff there pretty upset about, but also it says much about OpenAI's education strategy that it's targeted Oxford as its first institutional capture in the UK www.ox.ac.uk/news/2025-09...

I just watched a YouTube video that, made me super upset by its use of scewed data - extreme bias and only showing a tiny fraction of what is actually true. The video focuses on showcasing Canadian cities. At first I thought it was satire.

If you are anywhere around Toronto or GTA- I recommend checking out the Humber River Salmon run! A fun FREE day trip - typically runs from early September through late Oct… even early Nov- It’s a lot of fun - easy to get to by subway.Last year I shared experience - youtu.be/Vm5OTs2qN-Q?...

read a post about how much contact parents have with their AWAY college/uni kid-really differs depending on the kid-your relationship- their needs.I have 2 boys-one calls every night to do NYR puzzles-the other would be fine hearing from us once p/month. Love them both-they just have different needs

My usual hill to die on-let’s stop using food as a reward/manipulative in schools.I know it’s well-intentioned, but it disrespects reality of kids who face poverty…may not have secure access-ignores allergies,health and culture/religion-it teaches a disjointed message about what food should mean.

This is a good article to help travellers who are stranded or may need support with extra costs and knowing your rights airpassengerrights.ca/en/

Air Canada could fix this NOW with a fair deal for flight attendants. AC is holding passengers hostage instead - Enough.Give them a fair deal -what is deserved. So many people need to get home for work and families. Will you pay our extra costs while we wait? #aircanadastrike

"No, we can't agree to disagree. This isn't sports. This isn't us rooting for 2 different teams and the winner of the game has no impact on your life, my life or our kids' lives. You support someone who promises to hurt me and people I love. As Charlie Chaplin said, "I don't shake hands with Nazis."

I’m sharing a 3/4 week itinerary and budget info of our journey across the main island of Japan -Honshu. I DO NOT use any AI in any part of this process.. I enjoy the creative process- and sharing. I hope you enjoy. youtu.be/4RcAqsoyDEc?...

#Magnetawan #ahmiclake got a nice downpour and rumblings… Power is out in our area… hope everyone is safe - didn’t see a tornado and storm passed quickly #onstorm

Oh geez.. some scary weather in the cottage country, North of Toronto. I hope everyone stays safe and off the water.

My son (22 year old) has applied to 60+ research jobs- many summer student . I’ve been helping him. Still no offers.He has a UofT science degree, a clinical research cert (in progress), and a ton of motivation—but no hands-on experience yet. He’s now offering to volunteer just to get started.

Is this worth anything to anyone? From Westdale School 1990 or so.. leather jacket #hamont

@joeycoleman.ca are you aware of what’s going on on king W- bridge closed?? I read that someone is in crisis on the bridge- but not confirmed. #hamont

#Hamont April 2nd Spring snow ❄️

Super bummed to NOT be running #hamont #atb2025 Around the Bay this weekend (broken leg injury while running) would have been my 11th — For those interested in the route, and a bit of Hamilton’s History, and the run itself- here’s a video I made of the run youtu.be/pSP8yoTctP8?...

Now that you’ve ended the grants, the intelligence sharing, the trade relationships, the military alliances, and the cordial diplomatic relations are gone, what possible leverage do you have over other countries?

Sharing that our house at the Hamilton’s Waterfront is for sale (very fair price) for an amazing area- right at Harbour! Open house today! #hamont www.instagram.com/reel/DGs6DGx...

The measles stuff isn’t a medical mystery. You don’t need to interview experts who unpack the complexities of measles transmission. You do need to hammer politicians who have undermined successful vaccination programs and put children at risk.

#hamont @cityofhamilton.bsky.social Just now.. while running at pier4 park I witness a physical altercation at encampment.Quite distressing to see,lots of yelling, screaming - I ran to the nearby marine unit, banging on door until someone answered to seek help- they said they’d would call someone.

With #hamont Waterfront trial (from Bayfront to Princess point) being closed for several days-an inconvenience commuters who use it regularly-is there info on when it will reopen?I understand it is a bridge?Could we put cones/signs up instead? @cameronkroetsch.bsky.social @maureenwilson.bsky.social

A terrible state of affairs with media ownership in Canada

Fantastic post by @datruss.bsky.social reflecting/sharing on AI use in education. It’s layered and complicated. Thanks David

Found this list of Canadian products (alternative to US) I’m not sure how accurate it is- but it’s something. If you have any other list or graphic please share- could not find owner of doc to attribute (and thank) - docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

#HamOnt be careful out there. The roads are literally layered with ice. Although the snow is quite beautiful.

One of my students shared this image with me (& permission to share it) What do you think it means? Give it one word if you can..I’ll share what their word is.. in thread.. but it’s heavy. BTW,this comes from a lesson I do where students analyze images/art with meaning- and then create their own..

In my teaching career, I’ve had only a few days I can actually say went perfectly. Most don’t 😬BUY…TODAY was one of those days. Topic - Connections Game 😂😂 (no really, it was a budgeting lesson of all things!) @dougpete.bsky.social want to try some Connections? I’ll send some your way.✌️😎

Who else runs in snow? I am soooooo loving my winter waterproof snow (trail) runners (wide toe) by Altra. This brand is why I can actually run (awful wide awkward feet, bunions) who else swears by these shoes??!

Don't destroy their home and wonder why they invade yours. 💚

Y’all know the immunity debt thing is bullshit, right?

The copyrights of thousands of 20th-century films, books, compositions and sound recordings expire on Jan. 1, making them free for anyone to share and adapt. Here are some of the highlights.

Be good to yourself today! 💕We are all part of holiday that comes with many expectations- some that we cannot fill for many reasons-a loss, financial,location, illness or just a difficult time- Remember a lot of expectations of this day are falsely represented by media and are not achievable by all.

This is a equity issue. Pedestrians aren't all strong able bodied men. Some are young mom's trying to push strollers, elderly people just trying to get to the corner store, people trying to get to the bus stop and people using mobility devices. Clearing sidewalks gives people freedom of mobility.

Check out the link below. I absolutely love seeing Canadian researchers collaborating with others around the world to achieve better outcomes for our kiddos. @sickkids.bsky.social www.sickkids.ca/en/news/arch...

Dear educators… many of us have been trying to warn of the dangers to developing brains when kids have AI as tutors. A lot of you are worried about kids using AI to cheat. That’s the lowest level problem we have. 1/4

#Hamont I’m giving this antique desk away… anyone know who might want this? We used it as a plant holder at one time.

So strange for this to happen here.. I’m at the dealership for a couple minor things with car (incl. tire swap) and suddenly the car won’t start. They test battery and it’s only 30%. 😂 would you consider this good luck or bad luck?

My son had RSV when he was about 4 yrs old and impacted him throughout childhood (inhalers, reoccurrence)-hospitalized a couple of times (super scary) and ventilated.He is ok now.. but I’m thankful that now.. we have an RSV vax. Yes, for some it is like a “cold” but for others -can be quite serious.

I had to check to see if this was a reply to the recent "kids are so rude" headlines of late. It's so frustrating... I want to scream: they're not trying to give you a hard time... They're HAVING a hard time!

Well said Kimiko-I do wish we would discuss trauma based teaching learning more.This intersects with other barriers students and teachers face.People who have faced trauma may also experience PTDS- and can be triggered. I had an episode at work last week when a class put a doorbell in-triggering ..

#onted As a spec ed teacher-inclusion & UDL is a baseline for all lessons & classroom design. I often teach students with dual exceptionalities (means they may have an more than one challenge that can impact their learning if appropriate accommodations are not put in place) youtu.be/mS7O5GI7GIw?...

#hamont peeps - I have about 8 large wooden frames- handmade by my father (RIP Doug) - I’d like to donate them to a local artist or gallery in Hamilton - please pass this on to who you think might be interested 👍💕 I added a racquet just so you can get idea of size.

I have about 60 albums.. so so condition.. but I don’t want them. I’d like to find them a new home…Any suggestions? #HamOnt very diverse, eclectic…

Love this topic Noa- it’s exactly how I try to facilitate my classroom through UDL! 💕
