As an introvert, &parent of introverts, a day of back 2school ice breakers can be stressful.This is how I have students use a non-threatening way to get to know one another using @pixton. It also sets us up for future research based history comics creation.We also get to know that OUR stories matter

Upshot: Audio paired with read-along of plain text helps. Audio with multimedia (images, video, interactive text) often leads to overstimilation. So get those audio books to pair w/ popular print books & curricular titles! #TLSky #EduSky #SchoolLibrarians #TLSkyChat

Some people might not be aware, but it is entirely possible that without Dolly Parton we wouldn’t have had a COVID vaccine. She partly funded Moderna’s research and gave the largest individual contribution to make it all happen. Just gives you an idea of the kind of person she was.

Gravity holds a million ancient hearts in delicate captivity. Near the speed of light, their stillness shatters into radial spires—relativistic aberration weaving distance into longing. It is not an explosion, but starlight trying to outrun the silence of the void.
Digital artwork depicting an intense cosmic event, evoking a dense globular cluster or active galactic nucleus (AGN) in deep space. At the center, a tightly packed stellar core glows with stars exhibiting distinct color temperatures—from hot, high-mass blue stars to cooler, warm orange ones. Radial beams of light streak 360 degrees outward, simulating relativistic aberration or a hyperspace warp effect. Bright foreground stars feature sharp, four-pointed telescope diffraction spikes, standing out against a dark background dotted with distant stars.
