- Librarians and other educators have essential duties to step up & address the issue any time we believe a child is being harmed. This includes being harmed by AI, and make no mistake, it is harming not only our students, but also our adults, and our society.

- "Reclaiming teacher time with AI". Time for what? In the era of shrinking enrollment, be prepared for other duties as assigned, more students added to rosters, and fewer educational support personnel. Be very careful what you wish for; you just might get it.
- Great example of failing forward and growth mindset.

- Reposted by Len BryanSo, LLMs are a form of information laundering. They insulate you from the sources, which makes it impossible to judge the reliability of the source.
- Reposted by Len BryanBehold: the first-ever list of news outlets that have banned generative AI in their reporting. As of today, this is literally information that you cannot find on Google. My goal is to fill the starter pack, so please send over suggestions with supporting evidence! go.bsky.app/8cn1XfTat://did:plc:mencpxk4spd3xn3qotwkyyqf/app.bsky.graph.starterpack/3ma7dtn6w7j2x
- Oh AI, you suck. I'd bet many people would not take a second look, pause to think critically, or even try to spot problems before passing this off, sharing it, or turning it in as an authentic product of their hard work. AI is making us stupid and lazy.

- I'll eagerly await the full story in January. In the meantime, I'm increasingly alarmed at the uncritical adoption & evangelical stance of those pushing AI & its rapid incorporation into existing ed tech. To be blunt, this is not going to help students be anything but fast, sloppy, & less capable.

- Food and treats are a love language, and terrific ways to get your community to come to the library!
- The Mavericks and Raul Malo were major formative parts of my musical education. This is a huge loss, for music and our society in general.

Access the template here: www.librarygirl.net/post/your-li... I hope y'all find this resource useful! #TLSky #Skybrarians
- Our District Library is in a building with 3 shared school programs, so last year, we held our 1st book fair. It was a success, so we are going bigger and bolder this year!

- A5: If I could turn a classic book into a game? Maybe Treasure Island, Hatchet, or anything with a survival type theme or objective. More recently, Not & Ruin would make a fantastic tabletop game. #TLSkyChat

- A3: some games aren't available when quiet time is needed, spread people out if space allows, catalog games and check them out, drop by garage sales or thrift stores for games, puzzles, & spare pieces. I used to 3D print pieces for Sorry, etc. as needed too. #TLSkyChat
- A2: Advocating for play is much easier now that k-12 is more focused on SEL and understands the need for social, cooperative, and relaxing time. Play goes well with calming corners, and helps us break those musty, dusty, shushing stereotypes. #TLSkyChat
