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

Jennifer Casa-Todd presenting with a slide titled “AI Literacy & the School Library”

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

A slide that has many popular GenAI down the side with 18+ next to them. In the middle of the slide is a graphic with Lateral Reading replaced with Lateral Researching

I love the surprising empathy building this book builds! Spend a day in someone else’s shoes (or in this case 8 legs). What barriers do others face in day-to-day life that are not a barrier for you. #BCTLA #sd36TL #sd36Learn #TLSky

I’m seeing more “Silent Book Clubs” or “Book Chill Clubs” pop up in my district. I love the idea, even as a supervising TL! Interesting to analyse demand during these winter months compared to the spring months. @hkperkinson.bsky.social What grades are you seeing use it most? #BCTLA? #sd36tl?
