I feel like there is a good question/discussion here for students in news/information/media literacy talks.

“Why would this group have this rule? Do you agree/disagree? What are the implications?”

Have a great week everyone!

Presenter asked us yesterday: “Have to choose one, $10 ai “art” to hang on wall or $1000 human-created art?”

Why this question? Why those amounts? What was the presenter trying to prove? I voted to pay $1000. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Why are folks pushing this on us with such vigor?

I've been fairly disappointed in the ai policies/guides/briefs (including my own) that I've read so far. I don't agree with all of it, but this one that Dr. Sean Jackson shared with me on Tuesday is by far my favorite.

Proud dad moment. My kid creating art for my wife’s first graders. After school. Just for fun.

He’d be an awesome illustrator. He is an artist. He is creative. I want there to be a world for him that values humans more than machines and companies.

Linda Perkins was recognized at #AASL25 for attending EVERY AASL NATIONAL CONFERENCE, starting with being on the committee for the first one in 1980.

You make @kasl.us proud! #TLsky #SchoolLibrary

There were lots of metaphors being thrown about yesterday in the room I was in. So many. Today I walked into another room. And it perfectly matched how I’m feeling. 🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠

What an awesome start to #AASL25. I’ve admired @captainlibrary.bsky.social since I saw him at my first AASL conference. Love his work, and his school is so lucky to have him! #TLsky
