Diana doing what librarians do best: making an avalanche of information accessible & understandable - something we desperately need in the 24 hour media onslaught we face.

Why are we shutting down libraries just when we need them most? #OLASC #TMC8

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 says “I think it’s hypocritical that I have to cite my use of AI but that I clearly see teachers using it and they don’t” from a Grade 12 student 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
