This quote rings true: “Young people are still motivated to read when it connects to their interests, when they have choice, and when it feels relevant to their lives." That's what school librarians foster!

Shared this w friends yesterday bc I feel like it’s a good overview of the consumer mindset built around AI @ present & an even better argument for why #MediaLiteracy & ethical use *must* become a larger part of #SchoolLibrarian convos around AI in K-12. Also, big fan of the phrase “AI Slop.” #TLSky

Meant to mention this last week, but if you have a young person in your life who’s into history or graphic novels or just good books, buy them George Takei’s “They Called Us Enemy.” My oldest couldn’t put it down.

Do your students know that they shouldn't be using AI services as search engines or news sources? AI skims & then feeds users all the online misinfo that's especially prevalent in quickly evolving current events. BY DESIGN it's not a fact-checker. #MediaLiteracy #NewsLiteracy 🍎 📚 #TLSky #EdTech
AI Chatbots Are Making LA Protest Disinformation Worse
Amid fast-moving events in Los Angeles, users are turning to chatbots like Grok and ChatGPT to find out what’s real and what’s not—and getting inaccurate information.
