New teacher season is coming. I turned our student/faculty handbooks into a Gemini Notebook Q&A tool: ask a ?, get an answer with a page citation to verify. One more way we can be the connectors in the building. 🔗 librarymediatechtalk.blogspot.com/2026/07/ask-... #TLSky #SchoolLibrarian #EduSky #AI

Always excited to head back to school! My #1 goal is making the library inviting and building relationships. Thinking about a Library Dojo theme 🥋—ways to help teachers become "black belts" in collaboration and train in the library. Work in progress! #TLSkyChat #TLSky #SchoolLibrarian #EduSky

Before retiring. I would spend the first week of school during lunchtime finding the lonely students and hand them an application to become a library assistant. One of my favorite things I LOVED doing at my middle school. “Find Them!”
I’ve been carrying this piece for a long time. It’s about the kids who find the library when they need it most. For every librarian who wonders if what they do matters — this one is for you. #TLSkyChat #TLSky #SchoolLibrarian #EduSky librarymediatechtalk.blogspot.com/2026/07/find...

1st year back in a school library after years in the Army National Guard & public library hard. But during Field Day, 1 sheet of paper and 1 question for my Ss changed my entire perspective on the year. librarymediatechtalk.blogspot.com/2026/05/what... #TLSkyChat #TLSky #SchoolLibrarian #EduSky

We called it Al Basic Training. A school librarian in Army camo + a middle school coach = a 4-station Al ethics lesson that worked. What we taught, what flopped, and what we're bringing back in the fall librarymediatechtalk.blogspot.com/2026/05/ai-b... #TLSkyChat #TLSky #SchoolLibrarian #EduSky

What if students didn’t use AI — they evaluated it instead? We had an AI pretend to be Ponyboy. 8th graders graded the performance with a rubric. 1st time trying this. Definitely not the last. bit.ly/4e86ARa #TLSkyChat #TLSky #SchoolLibrarian #EduSky
