This month is #BloodCancerAwarenessMonth. I’m one of the many Cdns diagnosed with #MultipleMyeloma, an incurable cancer. Never heard of it? Neither had I! Take a listen to my interview with CBC’s @sickboypodcast bit.ly/SickboyMyeloma
@RogersHelps Really terrible, spotty cable in Midtown Toronto tonight. What gives, Rogers?!

March is #MultipleMyelomaAwarenessMonth. Did you know that #MultipleMyeloma is an incurable blood cancer? 11 🇨🇦s like me are diagnosed every day! Learn more from my convo with @CityAudra bit.ly/3JGHKZM #MyelomaMatters #11EveryDay #MMAM23 #MyelomaCanada
Tune in to @CityNewsTO this evening at 5:00 and 6:00pm to watch my interview with @CityAudra about #MultipleMyelomaAwarenessMonth!! #MyelomaCanada #11EveryDay #MMAM2023 #MakeMyelomaMatter
It often takes more than 3 visits with a physician B4 being diagnosed. My Dr ignored my symptoms & I went for more than 2 yrs before diagnosis. By then, it was an emergency.
This #MyelomaAwarenessMonth, stop this devastating cancer from cutting short the lives of those we ❤️
This is exciting news! As a #MultipleMyeloma patient currently on my 3rd line of treatment, this will now be something that could be a potential option for me down the road. #MyelomaCanada #CARTcell #Myeloma #Immunotherapy

@koodo Are there any outages in the Peterborough ON area? My dad has a Koodo cell plan and seems to have no cell service in Peterborough tonight.

Hosting virtual Family-Teacher Conferences this evening while proudly wearing my purple to say that #39kIsNotEnough! Ontario education workers are some of the best around, and they deserve a living wage! #IStandWithEducators #OntEd

A great 🧵about teaching. I know there are many more days now that I wonder if I should have taken that job at Blue Cross after summer jobs there. I miss my evenings. And a dear teacher friend just retired last week 5 YEARS early! She was done, financial hit be damned.
I've had a bunch of close friends leave teaching and start working in the private sector. Without fail, every single one of them says they are less stressed, their work/life balance is better, and their mental health is better, even though some are making less money.

A4: The #XPLAP book was absolutely a "game changer" for me! 😉 And my first copy is so highlighted, bookmarked, and beat up from using it for reference, I may even need a second copy! Love it still!

A3: I'd love to see casual conversations here on Twitter continue, with both #XPLAP and #EMC2Learning in use. And now that we're all Zoom/Google Meet experts, we should definitely leverage those along the way! Conferences and YouTube fun too!

A2: This community has helped bring so much FUN back to my own teaching! And it's also helped me build my own knowledge and understanding of gamification, so I can confidently share that with colleagues and students in my school board! #XPLAP

A1: Just one?!? That's hardly fair!! 😁 I always loved the chats about Items or Powers... great inspirational ideas . And chats that invited us to create on the fly, too! #XPLAP
