Today marks the end of my time at @RobertThirskCBE. Opening this school has been highlight of my career. I am excited to move on to new opportunities and challenges at @CrescentCowboys. Thanks for trip Comets, it was out of this world.

Couldn't agree more. This is chance to reconceptualize education. I hope we dont miss this unique opportunity.
This moment of reinvention gives us a beautiful opportunity to re-prioritize and restructure — let's not waste it. https://t.co/0iHZOGRCo4

A friendly reminder that Husky just clocked $233 million in savings from Kenney’s corporate tax cut. Oh and they also laid off hundreds of workers. And now Kenney wants to balance the budget by rolling back the wages of nurses, teachers and paramedics. Disgusting.

Make no mistake: this is not simply a rollback for a few public servants. This is an attack on wages for your kid's teacher, the nurse who cares for your loved ones, the social worker who supports the most vulnerable, and many hardworking Albertans. https://t.co/97Rsq6FrEZ

Working on perfecting my own entry for the #BasicBot competition at @RobertThirskCBE in a few weeks. Why should the kids have all the fun?! #robotics #arduino ( I dont actually compete but is fun to play with creative ideas and I'm always learning new things...)

The traditional educational narrative of high school diploma followed by degree, followed by good paying job is changing. I for one am glad... university isnt everything and great success can be found in other ways. Have a read of this article. https://t.co/htzKFT1sHg

B.C.'s new high school curriculum: Genocide and Indigenous studies, drones and mechatronics, more projects and less exams. Wish Aberta would follow suit. We seem to be heading in the opposite direction. https://t.co/bBLDtBah5i
