Teachers: If you're reading books aloud & posting it in a closed digital environment (e.g., Google Classroom, Brightspace, etc), you are covered by fair use just like you would be in your physical classroom. You don't need to follow some special list or get permission.

This week is critical in our fight against #COVID19 but the ability to stay indoors (safely) is a privilege in and of itself. Every worker deserves paid sick leave. Please share, comment and sign the petition below. Thank you! canadianlabour.ca/worker-desโ€ฆ #FlattenTheCurve #OnPoli
This is amazing!
This is what families need to be doing. Dancing brings such joy! I love this๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜

Day 3: Homeschooling Officially SHUTDOWN! * Teacher has quit (Me) * 1 student has been skipping * 1 student dropped out * Copier (printer) jammed * Cafeteria (pantry/kitchen) snacks have ALL been eaten * Grandma After School Program has banned the kids P.S. out of toilet paper
I wonder how many parents will finally see the value of education and teachers when they are quarantined at home with their kids with nothing to do and nowhere to go? Now multiply that.... By 20 kids at least.... 7 hours a day..... And they actually learn something ๐Ÿค”

Sending positive vibes....hoping to find a good resolution soon.
My favourite part of a bargaining day - quiet time before anyone else arrives. An opportunity to gather thoughts before we head to the table. This room will be buzzing with discussion and work later this morning. #ETFOstrong
So, Doug Ford's public sector wage cap is really only for teachers? ๐Ÿค” Ontario is a place that values those in charge of punishing people, over those that nurture them. ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ #onpoli #cdnpoli globalnews.ca/news/5122393/oโ€ฆ

For all of you who support #DougFord's description of unions as "thugs" - it's Friday. TGIF. The weekend you're looking forward to was made possible by unions, or tomorrow would be just another day of work. So 'hug a thug', the phrase the Premier's late brother coined. On crack.

Today, @theJagmeetSingh joined me with a message of solidarity & hope. Thank you to all educators in Ont. It is not easy, when the gov is constantly attacking our integrity, but we're in this together - for our students & their future. #OSSTF #AEFO #OECTA #ETFO #OntEd #OnPoli

While we are all concerned about the coronavirus, I want to remind everyone that EVERY SINGLE DAY elementary school teachers come into direct contact with mystery fluids and every germ known to man. They are fearless ๐ŸŽ๐Ÿ˜ท๐Ÿค’๐Ÿคฎโค๏ธ

It looks like the PCs are grasping at straws.They're now spreading lies about Reg 274 and making it about race and diversity. Congrats, you have now offended every teacher who comes from a marginalized background and who was hired through Reg 274. #dontevengothere #imoneofthem
