#Library Friends: I am looking for pics of library reading communities in action to share w/my #Rutgers #MLIS students. If you have a photo you'd like to share, please ping me! All libraries, all levels welcome! #TLSkychat #TLSky #Skybrarians #Edusky #Libraries

If you’re a parent who’s trying to ban “inappropriate” books from the school library but you let your kids listen to the current President unsupervised you’re doing it wrong

A few months ago I froze in an aisle at the grocery store like I was lost. Couldn't remember why I was there. Someone asked me if I was ok and all I could muster was "my executive is not functioning". Today I told someone "my attention is in deficit". Accurate portrayal of the dissertation process.

Stop by the #ISTElive School Librarian Playground today from 3-5 pm @chrystalburkes.bsky.social will be manning a clip making station. Come make some clips to share w/ new conference friends. We have over 15 sessions! @isteofficial.bsky.social @communityleaders.bsky.social @ascdofficial.bsky.social

Sad that @isteofficial.bsky.social didn't include librarians in their wall of ribbons. #tlsky #ISTElive

There is a new way to save time when it comes to choosing the right #EdTech - The EdTech Index will show which apps have been vetted for quality. Richard Culatta's commitment is that this tool will help save 1,000 hours per district each year. #ISTELive #ASCDAnnual

Loved getting to meet @cultofpedagogy.bsky.social today at #ISTElive for the first time - even if it was for the briefest of moments. So much admiration for the work that Jennifer does - hosting a podcast, choosing guests and topics, and supporting educators.

Hey #schoollibrarians if you create pathfinders for your teachers, I'd love an example or two to share with my Collection Development class. Looking for examples that incorporate library print materials, digital resources, and subscription databases! #librarysky #tlsky

Still looking for a few #schoollibrarians to interview for my dissertation! I'd love to find an elementary librarian (preferably in an urban school) in Wyoming, Oregon, Montana, Arizona, California, Nevada, Idaho, or Utah! #tlsky #librariansky #DrCookseyABD

School librarians: I want to hear YOUR story! Whether you’re new to the profession or a veteran, your experiences matter for my doctoral research. Help shape our understanding of the school librarian’s role by participating in an interview. bit.ly/Cooksey-rese...

Public pressure works! Keep it going.

The last two weeks have been the longest weeks ever. Lots of things marked off the "to do" list and checkmarks on the elephant bites. Next summer, I plan to be a literal potato.

#scholastic - comic books and graphic novels are not genres. They're book formats. Frustrating to attempt to look for the genre of a book, only to find that the format is provided instead. shop.scholastic.com/teachers-eco...

Which is correct? A. Readers' Advisory B. Reader's Advisory C. Readers Advisory

Full stop.

Hey friends! We still need a few presenters for the #ISTE25 School Library Playground! #TLsky #librarians #schoollibrarians

@gregleding.bsky.social, any insights on the amendments to HB 1127, particularly the American Library Association piece? ALA is a professional organization, and I can't see punishing professionals and libraries for having the support of a professional organization.

I am happy to have worked on this & will speak FOR this bill in the House Ed Committee meeting on March 11. I see this bill as beneficial, not adding to duties but further solidifying the importance, need, & role school librarians play in our learning communities. arkleg.state.ar.us/Bills/Detail...

Looking forward to organizing the playground this year! Session application opening soon. #istelive #TLsky @communityleaders.bsky.social

Watching the recording of AR House Ed Committee & HB1144. The video cuts off before the final committee vote. Anyone know the outcome? @gregleding.bsky.social

Happy Black History Month, and yeah, we're still doing that.

@gregleding.bsky.social is there a limit to the number of bills that can be proposed each session or by one legislator? Sans appropriation. IMO -it seems like there are so many bills that never get seen or discussed but are good. And several that get rammed through with little/no discussion/debate.

@gregleding.bsky.social remind me what it means when a bill is moved to "deferred" in a committee's list.

Good grief. 🤦🏽‍♀️

@gregleding.bsky.social Does SJR5 - Amend the Office of the Lt. Governor mean that this revision to the AR Constitution would get rid of that office?

Yes!

The 95th Arkansas General Assembly began the 2025 legislative cycle on Monday, January 13, 2025. Know that I do this in my "spare time" (hahaha what even is that) so it may not be updated to the minute or day by day. I'll do my best. This is a "view only" spreadsheet. docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

Yes! Same feelings when someone asks "what book goes with XYZ activity... What is the purpose of the lesson? What should learners know or be able to do at the end? Lesson planning requires you to start at the end. What's the point...then plan from there.

I have #FECT fomo. I've never been and know I'm missing SO MUCH. @fetc-official.bsky.social

Absolutely! With #UDL we can be more cognizant of the barriers during planning and work to eliminate them. #edtechsky #edusky #librarysky
