Hey, friends! I’m hoping to reconnect with my
#edtech & #tlchat friends from that other platform & make some new connections, too! If you’re interested in Universal Design for Learning, digital citizenship, picture books, & school libraries, let's connect.

A few months ago I froze in an aisle at the grocery store like I was lost. Couldn't remember why I was there. Someone asked me if I was ok and all I could muster was "my executive is not functioning".
Today I told someone "my attention is in deficit".
Accurate portrayal of the dissertation process.

There is a new way to save time when it comes to choosing the right #EdTech - The EdTech Index will show which apps have been vetted for quality.
Richard Culatta's commitment is that this tool will help save 1,000 hours per district each year.

Loved getting to meet @cultofpedagogy.bsky.social today at #ISTElive for the first time - even if it was for the briefest of moments. So much admiration for the work that Jennifer does - hosting a podcast, choosing guests and topics, and supporting educators.

The last two weeks have been the longest weeks ever. Lots of things marked off the "to do" list and checkmarks on the elephant bites.
Next summer, I plan to be a literal potato.

#scholastic - comic books and graphic novels are not genres. They're book formats. Frustrating to attempt to look for the genre of a book, only to find that the format is provided instead.

@gregleding.bsky.social, any insights on the amendments to HB 1127, particularly the American Library Association piece? ALA is a professional organization, and I can't see punishing professionals and libraries for having the support of a professional organization.

I am happy to have worked on this & will speak FOR this bill in the House Ed Committee meeting on March 11. I see this bill as beneficial, not adding to duties but further solidifying the importance, need, & role school librarians play in our learning communities.
