I think I took a photo of every slide of yours 😂 Choose my fav 4 instead of a 🧵🧵🧵🧵

A photo of a group engaged in conversation at a table. Shaunna MacDonald and Joseph Jeffery can be seen as well as others

Shaunna MacDonald and Cathy Fowler taking a photo together at a table with others. The are many tables in the background also with conversations happening

Table talks at #TMCanada2025 with my co-authors @josephjeffery.bsky.social and @c3fowler.bsky.social presenting our paper on the Importance of District-Level TL leadership. Read it here ➡️ tmcanada.blogspot.com/p/tmc8-fowle... #BCTLA #sd36tl

Jennifer Casa-Todd presenting with a slide titled “AI Literacy & the School Library”

A slide that says “To what extent should the Library Learning Commons be the center of AI Literacy in a school?”

A slide that says “I think it’s hypocritical that I have to cite my use of AI but that I clearly see teachers using it and they don’t” from a Grade 12 student

A slide that has many popular GenAI down the side with 18+ next to them. In the middle of the slide is a graphic with Lateral Reading replaced with Lateral Researching

Thought provoking presentation by @jcasatodd.bsky.social on AI Literacy and the role of the School Library/TL. I appreciated her idea to encourage Lateral Researching as we work with AI generated answers, quotes, citations, etc. #TMCanada2025 #BCTLA #sd36tl

A group of people sitting around round tables with a presenter at the front. On the tables are large chart papers with brainstorming ideas written on them.

What a phenomenal day of learning, thinking, sharing #TMCanada2025 Wishing there could be more days of this research symposium to draw out the discussions & deep thinking. Thank you @cdnschoollibrary.bsky.social @josephjeffery.bsky.social @abrookskirkland.bsky.social for your leadership❤️ #BCTLA

@vwoelders.bsky.social This was such a fantastic, thought provoking presentation on the Medical Model VS Social Model of disability - @banana29.bsky.social would be a great voice for you to follow ❤️ #Accessibility

😂 Lesson learnt

A payphone with an envelope wedged under the receiver

I found someone else’s #OLASC #OSLA love letter! But because I was in on the project I left it for someone else to find and read ❤️
Also… I found an actual pay phone IRL! 😂

The Love Lettering Project: Making Place for Placemaking 😍 from Lindsey Zier-Vogel was so inspiring! Place-based positive connection. Participants all wrote love letters to the #OLASC to hide for others to find and brighten their day ❤️ #OSLA #LoveYourLibrary campaign #BCTLA
