From the beginning, I've been fascinated with the blanket belief in Gen #AI outputs and using it for "facts". Thread including @unesco.org article #TLSky #EduSky

Waking up to a new hope.

Have you started your Know-vember reading challenge?? 💡📚 #TLSky #BookSky My next nonfiction read- Loudmouth: Emma Goldman vs. America (A Love Story) by @dheiligman.bsky.social #EduSky

Emotional labor is exhausting. Second-hand trauma is real. Teaching is taking a larger toll...

LOVE new #Manga SpaceWalking with You. 3.5 (one is halfway there) boys reflecting on their struggles and how to do better at life. They reflect on choices, friendship, and their anger from not life-ing well. #Neurodivergent rep #BookRecommendation #BookSky #TLChat @penguinrandomhouse.bsky.social

New #Manga Recs my heart needs!!! And my kids (students). #TLSky #BookSky

Bringing @heykellyjensen.bsky.social into my classroom for the win! Perfect for Library Science. Fabulous for #Engchat and government courses. Students are diving in and evaluating style, resources, purpose, and call to action at various levels. #TLChat #EngChat Feel free to use. So many fab convos!

Some tropes provide a comfort Hello, small town with a dark secret. 🤤 Absolutely despise absentee dad who is rich and has another family. #BookSky #BookLove #Books #TLSky What is your "confort" trope?

The elementary #edtech app not changing a thing for secondary- but pushing use-doesn't even apply Optical Character Recognition (OCR) to help Ts just released badges which, shocker, doesn't have checks. None. Total honor system- click yes to doing the things, download cert, add name #TLSky #EduSky

The immense amount of current tech recklessness is creating harms that will take years, possibly decades, to recover from. That's once the "we" decide others matter more than the money of tomorrow.

Hate the phrase over thinking!!! Nope- not over thinking but deep thinking. Reflective, contemplative... processing information more deeply is not a flaw.

High test scores = fighting monsters. Ego prevents Jabari Booker from heeding the warnings of fellow students to not test well. Monsters We Make Vol. 1 by @coryxkenshins.bsky.social #BookRecommendation#TLSky #YA #Manga #BookSky #dystopia #horror @idwpublishing.com

It's one thing for non school librarians to lesson your worth.... totally different when a school librarian does it... more totally different when said school librarian is a friend...

Opinion | Teach Writing, Not Document Production If we want students to learn to write, AI tools shouldn’t have much of a role. If we don’t think students need to learn to write anymore, I’m not sure what we’re doing here. https://bit.ly/3LyfHyM #AcademicSky #EDUSky #HigherEd

A beautiful wordless #graphicnovel eloquently uses shades of blue grey to convey a variety of emotions. Lost loved ones, including magical pets, cannot be replaced. There is hope and happiness in new growth, new life. #YA #MG #BookRecommendation #TLSky #BookSky @penguinschoollib.bsky.social

When you have high fashion sense and the need to kill, the right university can help you with both. Importance of friendship and honoring relationships. You might find yourself cheering for a serial killer. #GraphicNovel I Was a Fashion School Serial Killer by @dougwagner13.bsky.social #BookSky 🩸📚

An android date/sex bot. Why not? Things get dark quickly when commands aren't followed. Llovet exposes the dangers of trusting an organization, AI answering systems, and forgetting passwords. This Adult #GrpahicNovel has layers! #BookSky #Librarians

working on a thing... ISO lessons or ideas for Halloween misinformation / urban legends. The history, the why, then the kernel of truth that spawned the lie / fear. #TLSky #EduSky #MediaLit

So many holds ready at once. Sure. Of course, I can totally totally read a book a day. Yeah, sure..., #BookSky #TLSky.

Explaing Gen #AI is not capable of summarizing is a fascinating experience. The amount of educated individuals still not realizing Gen AI can not think... Will it produce something? Yes. Can it evaluate and determine most important aspects? No.

Replacing term papers with in-class writing assignments may be nearly as devastating to writing as AI cheating. It will accelerate the culture of the hot take. I don’t know what to do. So far, I think the only hope is for those who don’t *want* to cheat.

Conference tired is a thing! Thank you to everyone who stuck it out and came to our ai session yesterday! Keep asking the difficult questions. Great work @katiejmcnamara.bsky.social!! #AASL25

Please stop with "AI is here to stay". - Gen AI is usually what is referred to- identify as such. -No one has a magic 8 ball. Remember the same being said about AV/VR? Shift to something factual: AI is reshaping the way we learn, teach, and make sense of the world via @unesco.org #TLSky #EduSky

Lay over for #AASL25 means lesson development- using latest tissue latest ignorance for Freedom to Read ongoing lessons. #TLSky #Librarians #BookSky #EduSky

#TLSky #EduSky It is critical to tell and continue to remind students of the power they have. Also- if ya'all sill didn't know, @heykellyjensen.bsky.social is amazeballs!!

You’ll notice that new developments in generative AI are always accompanied by new ways of depicting women without their consent—undermining their autonomy and harassing them—almost like it’s a pillar of the technology and its evolution

Completely in love with The House No One Sees by @adinaking.bsky.social !!!! #Ya blend of verse & prose a product of a rage rant, a true story, the memories we try to ignore, and the girls that get overlooked. #TLSky #BookSky #BookRecommendation

In helping sophomores find their science project topic, we explored things they wish they new... This one was a bit different from the others. You might have the same queries 🤪

Was excited to watch a movie with my family- Play Dirty. With soooo much gen AI, there isn't a chance for suspension of disbelief. The lack of action continuity kills any good the script had...

Just a friendly reminder... Need Brains Read a book #TLSky #EduSky

The "trust" of Gen AI is scary and appalling. I don't understand why the collective we is so willing to discount the we. I do understand $$ is at the root of the lies.
