Thought provoking presentation by @jcasatodd.bsky.social on AI Literacy and the role of the School Library/TL. I appreciated her idea to encourage Lateral Researching as we work with AI generated answers, quotes, citations, etc. #TMCanada2025 #BCTLA #sd36tl

A slide that says “To what extent should the Library Learning Commons be the center of AI Literacy in a school?”
