Anyone fellow educators recommend an air mouse and/or wireless presenter that is Chrome OS compatible that DOESN’T have a laser pointer? Main application is remotely playing/pausing videos (like on YouTube). Had a simple Kensington Wireless Presenter (great with Google Slides) but no YouTube control
My late father loved Gravenstein apples. He tried to grow an apple tree on his property. I remember his excitement the first year that it bore fruit, followed by his disappointment when the neighbourhood deer ate almost every one of them! Looks like the tree wanted to honour his passing this year.
(1 of 2) Had a <not random> thought today while working with Regional colleagues & our school admins today…
When you’ve used the same product for more than 35 yrs (maybe longer) it’s understandable that one would get a little antsy when stores stop stocking it … last can on the left I bought at local pharmacy for $6.99 about 4 months ago. Reluctant purchase on right? 2 for $38.99! Tariffs? Availability?
Enjoying keynote from Anouck Wipprecht at #ITCAMP2025 … when she showed us the Drinkbot dress (which actually made cocktails) though, I was pondered how far we’ve come in portable mixology!
What say you @gloucester2013.bsky.social about the good ship?
On this day in 1963, Bluenose II was launched at Lunenburg, Nova Scotia. Built to the original plans of the Bluenose, it even used some of the original workers. Bluenose captain Angus Walters also consulted on the design. Today, it is the sailing ambassador of Nova Scotia.

Such a tasty math problem, especially with some sweet and sour sauce!
If chicken nuggets only came in boxes of 6, 9, and 20, what is the largest order not possible? Let's take a look at the Chicken McNugget Theorem!

Happy Mother’s Day … hope it’s a great one for you both up in heaven!
Four years ago today mom. Now at least I know Dad is with you. Love you both and so grateful for what you did for me and my family.
Listening to @cbcnews-rss.bsky.social and hearing about the body cam experiment @loblaws.bsky.social is proposing to curb theft. Perhaps if they weren’t trying to rob consumers blind every day, they wouldn’t need to work so hard to do that.
When my mom passed, nearly four years ago, I shared her passing on what was still Twitter. Today I mark the passing of my Dad on BlueSky … a long time educator in our area with a legacy & sphere of influence I can only hope to scratch the surface of! He knew the value of hard work as youngest of 10!
Christmas Eve success! All Ten #827 10/10 1✅ 2✅ 3✅ 4✅ 5✅ 6✅ 7✅ 8✅ 9✅ 10✅
Definitely the easiest combo of # I’ve ever had to work with! All Ten #811 10/10 10✅ 1✅ 2✅ 9✅ 3✅ 8✅ 4✅ 7✅ 5✅ 6✅
Been a few days … All Ten #808 10/10 8✅ 1✅ 6✅ 2✅ 3✅ 7✅ 9✅ 10✅ 5✅ 4✅
Sun always shines a little brighter in #BlueSky when Michigan, in spite of having a less than stellar season, beats Ohio State IN Columbus! Ha ha!
Math lovers in #EduSky try this out. Initially, I didn’t think this one was possible today! All Ten #786 10/10 1✅ 2✅ 4✅ 9✅ 5✅ 8✅ 3✅ 10✅ 6✅ 7✅
Hoping to spread the word about #EduSky to local users who followed me on that other platform!
Does a #bluesky lend itself to an overall sunnier attitude for all? Let’s hope so because the doom & gloom I was finding in the place we shall not name, where the bluebird once lived, was dragging me down!
