So exited to hear @mychal3ts.bsky.social’s keynote and be in the magical presence of him and #BCTLA Teacher Librarians 🥰 #OSLA / #TMCanada2025 come on over to our magical TL conference! #sd36tl

#sd36tl #BCTLA #TMCanada2025 Fantastic musing and breakdown of a wonderful, thought-provoking event 👏

The personal gratitude is immense and important but so also is the call to action reminder for all school library professionals and supporters to protect children’s right to access materials and experiences that reflect each and every part of themselves. #TMCanada2025

I wanted to share my thoughts from my acceptance speech during the CSL awards event this weekend.

Table talks at #TMCanada2025 with my co-authors @josephjeffery.bsky.social and @c3fowler.bsky.social presenting our paper on the Importance of District-Level TL leadership. Read it here ➡️ tmcanada.blogspot.com/p/tmc8-fowle... #BCTLA #sd36tl

More BIG THINKING…Reflecting on how we can achieve the 3 foundations-equity of access, robust funding, strong policy, what evidence would we use to support advocacy goals? #tmcanada2025

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

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
