Unlearn16: Class is in Session

In this vlog, Ana I take you along for the ride as we get ready for our halloween party, get teeth put in and order McDonalds for a full house party.

Wait until you see Micheal Myers.

In this episode, Jann Arden graced me with her intelligence, her wit, her charm and her talent.  But most of all, she showed me that true and authentic humans still exist and want only to make this planet a better place.

You would think her award winning voice, her status as an author or her ability to create one of the funniest shows I have ever seen on TV would be the reasons I am in awe of her.  However, I was most impressed that her prime drive that Sunday morning was to make sure the birds, that her mother used to feed everyday, were taken care of. 

The question is - Did we sing together?  You will have to watch to find out.

In this episode, I take you with me as a simple question in 7/8 Global Issues - 'Who is that' (Lee Harvey Oswald - Time's cover) inspired me to pivot and create an entire unit based on the assignation, research diversity, critical analytical skills and we even stepped into the wonderful world of art (full scale models of the parade route coming soon)

If you can let students lead you to what may inspire them, as teachers, we have the ability to create a learning environment I hope they never forget.

In this episode, Ana and I vlog our road trip to Buffalo - we drive, we shop, we shop some more and we eat.  Watch us as we try to get across the boarder, go through a haunted drive thru and find a giant Dumbo.

In the episode, Janis Irwin (MLA - Alberta) and I sit down to discuss education, curriculum, political parties, fiscal realities and, why we seem to dress so similar.

I'm pretty sure between her and I we could fix most problems in both provinces.

In this episode, Ana and I take you on a Sunday 'day in the life' vlog of exactly what we do with our spare time.  Halloween decorations, food shopping, a new outfit and cheap chicken.

Oh...and pumpkins.

In this episode, I avoid 'The Blob', I Scream with Neve, I DON'T jump out of a chairlift and I gain some understand for Ms. Voorhees.

Never say 'I'll be right back' and we should all get through this one together. 

In this episode, I navigate through the cultural genocide of the Indigenous Peoples by the Canadian government.  I do so in order to hopefully build a powerful educational reflection within my school to reflect the need for a honest account and ownership of the harm perpetrated.  I will be create a day long workshop and educational experience to help guide my students through this reality in order to better meet the future.

Please leave comments, criticisms and connections to those in the Indigenous community who could shed more light and power on this issue.

In this episode, Ana and I take you to 7-Eleven and answer all your pressing questions about relationships, careers and the right choice of a slushie.  PS - I don't know why I haven't invested in 7-Eleven yet.

In this episode, I address the Minister of Education in Quebec who stated with all the confidence in the world that 'new teachers should all get experience as a kindergarten teacher because it is the easiest'.  You have to be kidding me.  Listen as I completely destroy this minister and his broken educational philosophy.
