If you and your children are not ready for a particular book, that is okay. It is not okay to limit the access to books, stories, and experiences for other families. Every book is not for everyone, but every book is for someone.

Disturbing but hardly surprising. But what do we do about it?? I fear the horse has left the barn.

Yet again, we can't afford to let LLMs become a source of epistemic grounding for society.

Largest study of its kind shows AI assistants misrepresent news content 45% of the time – regardless of language or territory

An intensive international study was coordinated by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and led by the BBC

Here’s the NYTimes opinion film that came first.

A filmmaker devises a few experiments to help his family experience his disability — and show how a little imagination can make us all more empathetic.

I love them and so do my students! Such a gift that she shares so I can just switch out for books in my collection. And I have made many of my own with her templates. Definitely helps with reader’s advisory!

So, @wakelet.bsky.social is going the way of Padlet & Smore and every other tool librarians love. I get it, it’s a business and you can’t give it free forever. But i am so sad. Anybody got an alternative yet?? #schoollibrarians @aaslala.bsky.social @njasl.bsky.social #ISTE

Curious about some logistics:
Do they take the hooks/needles home with them until done with the project?
Did you lose a lot of them?
Do you do how-to lessons?
Did you offer certain projects?

Does anyone have collectible author cards they’d be willing to share? Middle-school appropriate please. Thinking it might build reading excitement for my students. Canva or google shareable would be awesome.
