Last Friday, I had the privilege of spending Halloween with the Westman School Clinicians Association (WSCA) in Brandon.
We chatted about AI and the potential role that this tool may play in the operations of their members.
Thank you, WSCA, for having me join your team!

💡 Innovation isn’t just about new tools; it’s about using the ones you already have, better.
Yesterday we facilitated a session focused on leveraging M365 for efficiency and innovation in education.
When technology works with you, innovation becomes everyday practice

October was all about connections. From social posts and emails to conversations with divisions and partners from across MB; every step helped strengthen the network we have.
A personal highlight for October was being able to attend my first ever @merlin.mb.ca Partner Program Meeting!

Cybersecurity and media literacy share one big goal: helping us think critically online💡💻
Remember that every click and share matters
✅ Verify before you share
✅ Protect your data
✅ Think about what information you give away
Smart media habits = safer online communities

For Cybersecurity Awareness Month, we asked some of our MERLIN staff to share their biggest password pet peeves.
These everyday habits can open the door to major risks. Strong, unique passwords keep our classrooms and campuses secure. 🔐

Passwords are your first line of defence—make them count 🔑
Use a passphrase, enable multi-factor authentication (MFA), and keep each account unique. These simple steps help protect your data, your classroom, and your network.
Cybersecurity isn’t complicated—it’s consistent

Cybersecurity starts with awareness. 🛡️
This #CybersecurityAwarenessMonth, remember: not every email is what it seems. Before you click, check the sender, hover over links, and report anything suspicious to your IT team.
Every safe click protects a classroom. 💙
