If you are teaching #CGC1W, this is a very insightful book about labour experience, particularly women’s experience in the oil sands. I’m glad I read it and glad that my teaching supports some of the accounts in this incredible graphic novel by Kate Beaton.

The Canadian Shield is massive. It covers half the country (8 million sq-km), stretching from the Arctic to the Great Lakes to Labrador. It is also very old, with the oldest rocks dating back 4.28 billion years. Let's learn more about this major feature of Canada! 🧡1/8

Geographers use visual data in the inquiry process all the time. What geographic questions can be answered with different visual data? We did a mix and match to practice and make connections.

LOVE using an array of #geotechnologies to solve a geographic problem. Would a landslide almost 4km away from this community and with a slope this steep likely impact the development? We used #ArcGIS #SceneViewer to make some educated guesses! #CGC1W

Leveling up! We are experimenting with gamifying peer feedback to align with our gamified Geography course. Seems like to work! #CGC1W Are you a miner, cobbler or wizard?

Meat is expensive enough. How is it that No Frills is claiming one weight but when I unpack the meat to break it into portions that we’re short about 200g? πŸ€”
