Technology when used correctly can enable even the quietest student to be heard on a global level. I have witnessed the joy of introverted students who blog get praise from educators all over the world.

What an awesome tale on Your Story Matters about @burgessdave.bsky.social thanks @drrenaebryant.bsky.social for this awesome story. #TLAP #EduSky

1A Book awards are a reliable &relevant way to build your collection as they have been rigorously evaluated by experts. Look for the genres &interests of your student body. Displaying award-winning books & book talks about them will make them more appealing to your students & staff. #TLSkyChat

Thanks @angelamaier for leading the #YouMatter movement that is essential in order to best facilitate the learning & development of students. It is wonderful what they are doing in Appalacia #YOUMATTERAPPALACIA #YOUMATTERMC My old #YouMatter page cybraryman.com/youmatter.html #EduSky #YouMatter

We need to get our students reading more. Reading pages cybraryman.com/readingpages... Try some read alouds to get them motivated. Work with your school librarian if you have one. Help them find books to feed their passions and interests. #pd4uandme #TLSkyChat #TLAP #EduSky

A nice way to engage students is by using learning games. Game Pages cybraryman.com/gamepages.html #TLSkyChat #sunchat #EduSky

My students enjoyed World Almanac lessons particularly using the perpectual calendar to find the day of the week they were born on. You can now do almanac scavenger hunts to find interesting information using Infoplease #TLSkyChat

This Week’s Free & Useful Artificial Intelligence Tools For The Classroom larryferlazzo.edublogs.org/2025/07/01/t...

We need to put a lot more resources at early childhood & K-3 grades. Even if we need to do one on one. No child should leave grade 3 without being able to read & do basic math well. I had students in the 8th grade who could not read well or do basic math. What do you think? #EduSky #edchat

A4 I would want my AI assistant to fact check and make sure the information is accurate. But how would I know since AI has given my wrong month, day and year of my birth as well as stated I died in 2016 and 2021. #TLAP

A2 I would like to learn more about AI (Artificial Intelligence) and its applications for education. However, AI has said i died in 2016 and later in 2021. AI page cybraryman.com/ai.html #TLSkyChat

Take advantage of the techspertise of your students. I created my own library catalogue (since our school district would not give us the funding) using a database and spreadsheet. I taught my Middle School library squad how to add to it. Students are eager to help #TLSkyChat

Many ways to be creative in the library. I had students design book covers, bookmarks & library decorations for each month’s theme. Creation centers for makerspace in the library. www.cybraryman.com/makerspaces.... Creativity cybraryman.com/creativity.h... @shannonmmiller is awesome #TLSkyChat

Please remember all those who served our country and sacrificed their lives. Especially remembering my Uncle Jack who died as a result of fighting in the Pacific in World War II. Memorial Day page https://cybraryman.cocm/memorialday.html #EduSky #sschat #engsschat #TLAP #edtechchat #MemorialDay

My concern with AI and the internet is finding if the information is accurate. When I searched my information they had my wrong birthday (wrong month, day and year) and in two instances they had my passing away in 2016 and then in 2021. How do we get students to verify what they find? #EduSkyAI

A2 My EOY reports were a combination of word processor for all the library activities and spreadsheet for the statitstics of everything I did. #TLSkyChat

A1 I think what you could bring back to discuss in class would be the flooding that has affected Venice, Italy and connect it to flooding here in the states. Flood page cybraryman.com/flood.html #TLAP

A1 You have to be proactive to protect & your position. Keep statistics on everything that you do and let everyone see them. I did monthly library newsletters for the staff/students/parents to keep them informed of new books & events. ALA Advocacy links. www.ala.org/united/advoc... #TLSkyChat

Learning takes place everywhere and at any times We should model constant learning inside and outside the classroom. My students enjoyed Field Trips www.cybraryman.com/fieldtrips.h... #TLAP #edchat #EduSky

You have to first make sure they know you care about them. Find out the best way that they learn. Show them how to problem solve, start with the basics and build from there. I used mnemonic devices with my children & students cybraryman.com/memory.html #TLAP

A3 You have to first build community in the classroom achers to keep this going. Model not being afraid to try new things. Listen carefully and attentively. Encourage their questioning and finding the answers to what they seek. Curiosity page cybraryman.com/curiosity.html #engsschat

A1 I used "What if " questions successfully. So happy that #engsschat is still going on as I started it.

We need to find the best way each student learns as some are visual, auditory, verbal, logical, etc. learners. We can employ a combination of old and new learning strategies. Learning Pages cybraryman.com/learningpage... #sunchat #TLSkyChat
