I have been successfully using ChatGPT to critique my palm tree bark artwork and photographs. It does a very good job giving helpful suggestions to improve your designs. #edtechchat #TLAP #pd4uandme #EduSky

1A Book awards are a reliable &relevant way to build your collection as they have been rigorously evaluated by experts. Look for the genres &interests of your student body. Displaying award-winning books & book talks about them will make them more appealing to your students & staff. #TLSkyChat

We need to get our students reading more. Reading pages cybraryman.com/readingpages... Try some read alouds to get them motivated. Work with your school librarian if you have one. Help them find books to feed their passions and interests. #pd4uandme #TLSkyChat #TLAP #EduSky

My students enjoyed World Almanac lessons particularly using the perpectual calendar to find the day of the week they were born on. You can now do almanac scavenger hunts to find interesting information using Infoplease #TLSkyChat

@ryan7read.bsky.social Great idea to use Monopoly. We really need to teach students about finances. My Financial Education pages www.cybraryman.com/financialedp... #tlap #edchat #EduSky

There’s not many feelings better than doing what others told you was impossible.

Create an environment in your classroom and school where children & staff are allowed to be risk takers & innovators. Make sure that they understand it is okay to not do well but to learn from their mistakes. cybraryman.com/learningfrom...

We need to put a lot more resources at early childhood & K-3 grades. Even if we need to do one on one. No child should leave grade 3 without being able to read & do basic math well. I had students in the 8th grade who could not read well or do basic math. What do you think? #EduSky #edchat

A4 I would want my AI assistant to fact check and make sure the information is accurate. But how would I know since AI has given my wrong month, day and year of my birth as well as stated I died in 2016 and 2021. #TLAP

A2 I would like to learn more about AI (Artificial Intelligence) and its applications for education. However, AI has said i died in 2016 and later in 2021. AI page cybraryman.com/ai.html #TLSkyChat

Take advantage of the techspertise of your students. I created my own library catalogue (since our school district would not give us the funding) using a database and spreadsheet. I taught my Middle School library squad how to add to it. Students are eager to help #TLSkyChat

Many ways to be creative in the library. I had students design book covers, bookmarks & library decorations for each month’s theme. Creation centers for makerspace in the library.

Please remember all those who served our country and sacrificed their lives. Especially remembering my Uncle Jack who died as a result of fighting in the Pacific in World War II. Memorial Day page https://cybraryman.cocm/memorialday.html #EduSky #sschat #engsschat #TLAP #edtechchat #MemorialDay

My concern with AI and the internet is finding if the information is accurate. When I searched my information they had my wrong birthday (wrong month, day and year) and in two instances they had my passing away in 2016 and then in 2021. How do we get students to verify what they find? #EduSkyAI

A1 I think what you could bring back to discuss in class would be the flooding that has affected Venice, Italy and connect it to flooding here in the states. Flood page cybraryman.com/flood.html #TLAP

A3 I prepared a podcast listening sheet with questions for students to answer while listening. I wanted them to capture the important things on the podcast. Podcasts www.cybraryman.com/podcast.html #TLSkyChat
