Some days you use AI to help make SAT word of the day slides for the school TVs to be running & other days you use it to craft the perfect way students should refer to me. We agreed on Your Majesty the Guardian of Wisdom. I am now determined to make this stick 🤣🤣🤣

Anthropic has agreed to pay $1.5 billion for using pirated books to train its AI—the largest copyright settlement in U.S. history. I explain what it means for schools, libraries, and the future of fair use. #aied #TLSky #EduSky #EduSkyai open.substack.com/pub/aischool...

“Restoring Truth & Sanity to American History,” order by Doug Burgum, US Secretary of the Interior: “Review public monuments, memorials, statues, markers …including parks & museums” to remind Americans of “unmatched record of advancing liberty, prosperity, & human flourishing.” Subtext: Ban truth.

Big win for stopping book bans: In a major win for intellectual freedom, a judge rules against Florida law that led to removing hundreds of books from school libraries. “None Of These Books Are Obscene.” #booksky bookriot.com/penguin-rand...

Park staff have no guidelines to work with as to what might be problematic. The books being flagged deal overwhelmingly with the history and legacy of slavery, the history of indigenous peoples, and other subjects that the Trump administration has targeted as inappropriate.

AI surveillance tools like Gaggle are quietly scanning student emails, chats and docs in 1000s of schools. The harm? Real - and growing. As a former school board member I saw how these tools are sold to districts. Read more on my latest post. aischoollibrarian.substack.com/p/surveilled...

Yes, telling librarians you appreciate their inclusive collections is a good thing. Even better is putting that appreciation in writing to administrators and boards so that the librarian has a record of your remarks and contact info in case support is needed in the future.

I met my Page Partner from the @demcoinc.bsky.social School Library Planner! Nice to meet @elissamalespina.bsky.social in real life at #ISTELive. ❤️

David Huerta’s arrest wasn’t an accident. It was a message. And we got the message loud and clear: this administration is coming for working people. But guess what? We’re coming right back. Louder, stronger, more united than ever. #UnionsForAll

Not to rain on today, but the judge in the ALA v. Sonderling IMLS case just denied the plaintiffs' motion for a preliminary injunction. This is a loss. However, the administration still can't technically do further dismantling due to Rhode Island v. Trump. Timeline: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

A gold standard tool used for professional weeding in libraries has been quietly shut down: buttondown.com/wellsourced/...
