Thanks again to all our #NJASLSpring21 attendees and presenters for joining us on 3/13!
All of the PD certificates have been emailed as of noon(ish) today.

@NJASL @Raff5K
Howdy #NJASLSpring21 registrants! Your PD certificate will arrive in the next few days. Google limits email sends to 100/day; first 100 went out today - all the rest should arrive by Wednesday.
If you absolutley need it ASAP, let us know and we'll get it to you.
@NJASL @Raff5K
Since the #NJASLSpring21 Mini-Con had 7 registrants from beyond the borders of the US, can @Raff5K and I now say we have organized and run an international convention? 😁
It's easy to be discouraged and think things are too bad to fix; but "Let's be solutions-oriented!" @Boss_Librarian
#NJASLSpring21
"They may not retweet you, but they definitely see you!" @Boss_Librarian
Others may not realize the many roles of the #SchoolLibrarians - so let them know!
#NJASLSpring21
"Sometimes you need people outside your district to talk about how good you are for the people inside your district to realize it." @Boss_Librarian #NJASLSpring21
"You need to use social media, because you need to get word of what you're doing out beyond your school, because there's too many people out there who think #SchoolLibrary programs are archaic!" @Boss_Librarian
#NJASLSpring21
"There are other people in your community that think school libraries are important. Take advantage of that - there's strength in numbers!" @Boss_Librarian
#NJASLSpring21
During @Boss_Librarian's closing address, @NJASL's own Skye Silverstein points out: "We need to advocate even if things look ok in our district, because it can disappear in a minute."
#NJASLSpring21
"We have to move from being an advocate, just speaking up for our program, to being an activist... to keep our library programs in place for our students." @Boss_Librarian #NJASLSpring21
As @Boss_Librarian reminds us, "Black Books Matter"!
(Can't believe she offered to give a session IN ADDITION TO giving the closing address! Definitely a Boss!)
#NJASLSpring21 #RethinkRefreshReboot
Man, @sm_wordsmith is dropping KNOWLEDGE about how graphic novels can help build and support literacy! You'd better go and "Get On Board the Graphic Novels Train"!
#NJASLSpring21
One benefit of a million (or 50) 15-min sessions is that they cater to my "Covid Attention Span", as @Raff5K said!
And recorded for re-visiting for the next 30 days!
#NJASLSpring21 #RethinkRefreshReboot
Handy, right? The recordings are up VERY quickly after sessions end, so you can easily backtrack!
#NJASLSpring21

Wow! Sessions at #NJASLSpring21 are so popular, they're reaching max capacity! Good thing we can revisit them for the next 30 days, thanks to @Eduscape!
Today is helping me #RethinkRefreshReboot (mostly rethink) what virtual conferences can be!
.@Kateywrites reminding us that autistic kids deserve consideration about consent, too, since they (and others!) have different levels of sensory sensitivity & comfort.
#NJASLSpring21
Ooh! @Kateywrites sharing about series of 5 books on elementary titles to help kids know how to express their own feelings to others, esp regarding touch consent!
"Teaching Personal Boundaries & Consent" - check it out!
#NJASLSpring21
.@CarrieFinison sharing important reminders: Just because someone is cute, or you are curious about what their hair feels like, does not make it OK to touch them without permission! #NJASLSpring21
"Consent doesn't have to be about sexual situations" - there are so many folks who just aren't comfortable with hugs or touching. Excellent point from @CarrieFinison during Teaching Personal Boundaries & Consent: Recent Books to Add to Your Elementary Lib Shelf
#NJASLSpring21
Teaching consent for physical contact to kids is such an important concept - love that there are some great texts to help! Thank you, @Kateywrites and @CarrieFinison!
#NJASLSpring21
There are SO MANY amazing talks going on at #NJASLSpring21 !!
SO GLAD they're going to be available to attendees as recordings for the next 30 days!
Thank you @Eduscape for creating a platform that allows both synchronous AND asynchronous conferencing!
#RethinkRefreshReboot
It is amazing and heartbreaking to hear Daniel Nayeri's journey as a refugee. Can't wait to get my hands on his book, EVERYTHING SAD AND UNTRUE.
#NJASLSpring21 #RethinkRefreshReboot
Listening to Printz Award winning author Daniel Nayeri - inside his talk on "Rethinking Narratives That Hold Us Back", he is offering "Absolute Truths in 15 minutes or less!" 😁
#NJASLSpring21 #RethinkRefreshReboot
Wow! @HermonAmy knocked it out of the park with her keynote for #NJASLSpring21 ! What a great start to today's sessions!
Let's go #RethinkRefreshReboot!
Wow - I never realized that the logo for @LMS_United is a square peg in a round hole! (Which is @HermonAmy 's common reminder about what #SchoolLibrarians are in their schools!)
#NJASLSpring21 #RethinkRefreshReboot
Did you know that @HermonAmy has added a PD certificate to the show notes of her podcasts? Get your learning on with @LMS_United and an AMAZING panoply of #SchoolLibrarians!
#NJASLSpring21 #RethinkRefreshReboot
What a great idea - Podcasts & Pedometers! Educators getting PD for walking their school track while they listen to PD-providing podcasts! Go, Texas #SchoolLibrarians! And thanks @HermonAmy for sharing these great ideas thru @LMS_United!
