#FutureReadyLibs

LibraryTok is special. And I’m so glad we’re BACK. #elementaryteacher #elementarylibrarian #librariansoftiktok #librarytok #librarytiktok #schoollibrarian #swiftielibrarian #schoollibraries #teachers... TikTok video by Amy - The Comeback Librarian

I can’t lie, I’m over the moon that #librarytok is back (for now). I definitely want to work at being more present here on Bluesky, as well.

5. Before I understood AI and how it can help educators, I hated it, too. But I went to a conference all about using tech in education. And my mind has been changed.

(2/3) Here’s the deal:
1. As a school librarian I need to know how to teach my students to use it responsibly.
2. It’s not going away.
3. It’s OBVIOUSLY not a reliable source for fact finding.
4. It’s in its infancy and it improving at an exponential rate.

(1/3) I recently commented on another lib’s question and BRIEFLY suggested using AI while continuing with other suggestions and more pertinent points made.

Had a couple people come at me for the AI part, and - no surprise here - they’re authors.

Ooo I like this

Chat GPT? I don’t feel like there’d be an authoritative exact answer - that’s not data typically gathered and published. But AI can make an educated guess!

It doesn’t seem like almost a month ago this display went up. I love hearing the conversations it has sparked & our native Ss thanked us for amplifying their voice. #raisevoices #bettertogether #TLsky #schoollibrarian #schoollibraries

Heyyyy this place has grown!!! Welcome!

Any recommended resources for [QUICKLY] learning some basic ASL? We have a new student who is deaf and no one-site interpreters for him, and I really want to figure out how to help him in library and beyond

This week 1st graders explored "Owl Moon" by Jane Yolen and worked collaboratively on owl puzzles. The teamwork they exhibited was inspiring & made me want to incorporate MORE puzzles, printed or otherwise! What are your favorite resources for printable puzzles for elementary students?

Staring my contracted work day from the comfort of my home whilst in my jammies, with my fave mug, frownies and all. Thankful for teachers unions all day every day!

If budget were no issue I’d “bin” the lot. I have 8 floor bins that get tons of use, plus it’s an easy direction to send the littlest of littles before we work on how to browse shelves. Since there are only 8 it’s high demand. 2 Seuss, 3 Mo Willems, Curious George, Eric Litwin, and the 5min stories

Also, just to put this out there…
100% a proud Swiftie since the beginning, y’all. And a Chiefs fan. And a 92%er (Kelce bros podcast)
So basically I’m on cloud 9 every time I go on socials.

You’re one of my favorite accounts on insta! Glad I found you here! (Also your Demco trip looked AMAZING and Contoured Librarian is another fave. So fun to watch the clips of all of you learning and leading together!)

Howdy! First year educator in a school library (public libraries before that). LOVING this new life!

Bluesky Social New User Guide A comprehensive user guide to Bluesky Social. Updated periodically with new info as the app continues to evolve.

Just came across a very comprehensive New Users Guide - from-over-the-horizon.ghost.io/bluesky-soci...

There are 2 for Dr Seuss, 3 for Mo Willems (2 are hidden in the pic), 1 for Eric Litwin, 1 Curious George, and 1 with all the bulky 5 minute story anthologies. All the high number/high circ authors where the shelves end up a mess no matter how much I go over how to browse 🤦‍♀️🤷‍♀️
But they love them!

Excited to find my way here, thanks to @drtlovesbooks.bsky.social !
Thanks a bunch!!!

Here’s a quick pic of my library entrance for the algorithm.
[or is that a thing here??!! So much to discover!]
