Promising Practices for Teaching K-12 AI. Begin in early elementary school—Build a foundation using hands-on, engaging experiences. Use supportive tools—Tools help make complex topics accessible to students, and provide interactive learning experiences that do not require programming to implement. Prepare students to be critical consumers, responsible creators, and informed citizens—AI education is for everyone, not just those who will work as AI specialists.

How do we ensure all K-12 students have a foundational grasp on artificial intelligence? Learn more about #AILearningPriorities: csteachers.org/ai-priorities/ #AI4K12

Latine Heroes in Computer Science: Victoria C. Chávez developed an app that tells people which stores accept food stamps and works to make CS more accessible to students with disabilities. Drew “Dr. Woohoo” Trujillo leads multiple teams that merge technology, engineering, art, and math to create immersive art experiences that transport audiences to fantastic realms. Anielle Guedes founded and leads Urban 3D, a Brazilian start-up that 3D prints construction materials from recycled goods to quickly create buildings and infrastructure.

Sept. 15 – Oct. 15 is Hispanic Heritage Month, and we’re celebrating by highlighting Latine professionals who have done incredible work in the field of computer science!

Tribal communities risk losing local libraries and the history they hold amid DOGE cuts Federally recognized tribes say the Trump administration cut the grant money they use to sustain the local libraries that serve as anchors in their most rural communities.

More than a hundred libraries on federally recognized tribal lands across the country were notified that their congressionally appropriated grant had been terminated midcycle.

Those communities are at risk of losing their local libraries and the history they hold.

I hope that in the future being part of DOGE is such a mark of shame that they shunned by their families, friends, and every employer paying more than minimum wage (and shunned by other people who work with them at those jobs, too)

Olympians Alex and Maia Shibutani continue their amazing exploration of more than thirty extraordinary Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders who have changed the world in these gorgeous and inclusive picture books. #AAPIHeritageMonth

Love this book, had a copy in my old school library.

PROJECT: Footpath for the People? A Zine Companion to a Data Quilt about the Appalachian Trail ← dh+lib dhandlib.org/project-foot...

Title page of our presentation slides. On a collage background is the title “Spread the Word: A Zine for Every Poster” with the author names listed (Julie Setele, PhD, MLIS; Jex Calvert, RDN) and the date (April 17, 2025)

The back and front cover of the zine Jex made to accompany our presentation. An arrow labeled “distribution” on the back cover extends onto the front cover. Zine distribution suggestions are provided: make copies and fold to share at your poster session; donate a copy to the zine library on campus; and leave copies to be found in fun places! A ko-fi donation link for Jex is included: https://ko-fi.com/AceOfMugs

I co-facilitated a workshop last night on how to transform one’s research poster (or paper) into a zine!

Here are the slides and zine we created:

Poster with text reading Celebrate School Library Month! The many roles of a school librarian: collection development, instruction, circulation, technology, supervision, curriculum support, community outreach, library space management. Why a certified librarian is essential: expert in literacy and research education, teaches students critical thinking and digital literacy, curates high-quality and inclusive materials, and Supports teachers with lesson planning and resource integration. The roles of a school librarian are listed in an image like an atomic structure centered on a bookshelf. The background color of the image is a deep blue, with all the text printed in white.

Every student deserves a school library with a certified library teacher! #EduSky #TLSky #Skybrarian
