Alt text: A bright pink background with geometric patterns features five diverse, smiling children raising their hands in excitement. The text reads "Teaching w/ Protocols, Wednesday @ 8pm EST." There is a #TLSkyChat logo with a book, magnifying glasses, and a coffee mug. Additional text at the bottom says "Presenters: Heather, Kat & Amanda."

We are looking forward to chatting about Protocols and Lesson Frames on Wednesday. We have some guest presenters @lyfemathluv.bsky.social and @kitkat2503.bsky.social who will be leading the chat. #TLSkyChat #EduSky #Protocols #EduProtocols #TLChat #EduChat

Did NOT know ~ thank you #TLSkyChat!

Thank you for sharing #TLSkyChat

Are you in MS or HS?
I love this!

Science vocab, SS events, people, places?
#TLSkyChat

A2. I haven't actually used it yet, but my MS students love Headbanz and I think this could easily be used to tie in curriculum. #TLSkyChat

That's not what I remember. Is there another one or is this just so new to me that I don't remember the name? #TLSkyChat

#TLSkyChat what is the deck that lets us see posts, comments, etc on multiple topics at one time? Does that even make sense??

A promotional image for #TLSkyChat, a Teacher Librarian Chat event, with a retro gaming theme. The background is a textured yellow surface. On the left, a slice of yellow melon with a black seed as an 'eye' is shaped like Pac-Man, appearing to 'eat' three small seeds leading toward a small ghost-shaped piece of orange food with two black square 'eyes' on the right. The text 'GAMES, GAMING & GAMIFICATION' is displayed in bold, colorful font at the top. Below, large white text with decorative elements reads 'TONIGHT!' The event time is shown in white and yellow text at the bottom right as '5PM PT / 8PM ET.' The #TLSkyChat logo, featuring an open book, glasses, and a coffee mug, is positioned in the lower left corner.

📣 Calling all teacher librarians & people who love them! Join us TONIGHT at 8pmET/5pmPT for #TLSkyChat! Let’s connect, share & grow together! This week's questions are posted at tlskychat.com! 🌟💬📚 #Edusky #kidlit #TLSky

Thank you for the chat tonight. I haven't participated in one of these a LONG time. I look forward to engaging with this community. #TLSkyChat

Hands down one of my favorite lines!

A8. Brand new to Bluesky so I will be collecting resources and clearly I need to learn to use this platform more efficiently
#tlskychat

I did not know there was a Garfield Xmas special! Thanks for sharing :-) #tlskychat

We have 2 of those as well. Students love them and the sandy tables are worth it.

I love this. We are working on Makerspace "pop-up" activities, too. Last month, we kept it simple with bead bracelets.

A4. Flexibility! I can carve out time all I want, but then when we are hit with subbing all day, it's out the window. I'm working on letting that sh*# go and not stressing. #tlskychat
