@ctcasl.bsky.social had such fun at our MS meetup last week! @jluss.bsky.social Let’s have another

One thing I'm still learning (and need to remind myself of often) is this: b/c the Bluesky algorithm isn't capitalism focused, engagement here doesn't work the same way it does in other spaces. We must actually REPOST content to boost it. Likes are lovely, but don't affect visibility. #tlsky #edusky

Thrilled to give out some #seesaw swag this morning after a Seesaw refresh PD! I love seeing how excited my teachers get after being reminded about everything Seesaw can do to support student learning. @ctcasl.bsky.social #librariansasleaders #techintegration #brewster13library 📚🍎 #EduSky
