I am attending #NCCE2025 in Seattle this week. So much great information. Lots on AI. I always love going to conferences because there is so much to learn. My favorite quote today was that we are teaching kids for their future, not our past. #edusky #TechEd #Schoollibrarians #skybrarians

February in the #PNW is long dark and dreary. Anyone else struggle with Feb? So much rain, so many grey days. What do you do to combat the winter blues?

This AD #RealisticFiction 💙📚 is one all #Teachers will love. It follows a HS faculty through a school year. It tosses in KWL charts, sticky note parking lots, observations, demanding parents and more. #edusky #Booksky

As promised, here are the slides I shared with students to convince them to NOT use chatGPT and other artificial stupidity. TL;DR? AI is evil, unsustainable and stupid, and I'd much rather they use their own brains, make their own mistakes, and actually learn something. 🪄

Bonus of being a #SchoolLibrarian #skybrarians is that you get lots of chances to buy Girl Scout cookies. (And this is only the first week! I have more at school and more not delivered yet!) I do love cookies and my students. 🍪 🍪🍪

Ooh this sounds like an intriguing way to get my kids interested in mysteries. I wonder if I can pare it down to 20 minutes?

Book bans impact public libraries & bookstores, but it’s school libraries where they are rampant ❤️‍🩹 Many kids are unable to make it to the public library. They can’t drive, often times the library isn’t in walking distance. It’s not that their grown-ups don’t want them to be library kids. 🧵 1/11

This is depressing and concerning. I don't have the time to research every audiobook I purchase on Sora for my library. I can easily imagine many AI books and narrators for kid's books. So not okay.

In the 💗 day spirit I am reading the AD #Romantasy When the Moon Hatched by Sarah A. Parker. 💙📚 #Booksky I love #FantasyBooks and #RomanceBooks. I love females who can hold their own-sassy and tough-and Raeve is both.

Why do we need school libraries (and librarians)? I just got a new student who has never had either. He says he has never seen so many books in his life. He was overwhelmed in a happy way. #SchoolLibrarians #skybrarians #Edusky

This week for 2nd grade is How do you Spell Unfair? We had a spelling bee at our school 3 weeks ago, so the kids really connected. Great conversations. Talked about nonfiction biographies, history and segregation +++ #Picturebooks #KidBiography #SchoolLibrarians #skybrarians #edusky #kidlit #BHM

Heavenly Tyrant by Xiran Jay Zhao is #YABook it is bk 2 and you should read book 1 to really understand it. It mixes Chinese history with #SciFi and results in a new interesting mix. Treatment of women is an important topic in this series #skybrarians #SchoolLibrarians #Booksky 💙📚
