Already thinking of ways for Teams and One Note to make my school and job I do better. Using it for #edTech and Battle of the Books. #MicrosoftEdu #nccechat #tuscaloosa #tcsslearns

Congratulations to our Media Specialist for being selected as the 2018 Alabama School Libraries Association winner for Leadership in Innovative Educational Technologies. #tcsslearns @RondaGambleLMS @6thchildMarlon

We need a new phrase: Self-directed reading. It's not recreational, it's not optional. But it is of interest and important to students. #ALLibraries #asla18

Thank you for sharing, your passion for literacy and encouraging the fight against aliteracy. Also for your very understandable data that we can use in our fight to help our students! #ASLA18 twitter.com/ezigbo_/status…

“Every child deserves to attend a school with a school library and a full-time school librarian. I believe school libraries and school librarians show us how to make this world a brighter place for everyone.” John Schu, Ambassador of School Libraries #AASLslm #slm18

Libraries Lead through Collaborations! #NationalLibraryWeek2018 showcase of some of the learning that’s taken place in the Cottondale library this year! #NationalLibraryMonth #TCSSLibraries #TCSSLearns #CottondaleCLIMBS

My faculty, staff, and students truly humbled me with their show of love and support for the library media center this week! #NationalLibraryWeek2018 #NationalLibraryMonth #CottondaleCLIMBS

To celebrate #NationalLibraryWeek2018 and #NationalLibraryMonth our 3rd-5th grade students participated in their very first digital scavenger hunt using GooseChase! It was a blast!! #LibrariesLead #GooseChase #TCSSLearns #TCSSLibraries #CottondaleCLIMBS

Kindergarten students discussed guidelines for tablet and smart phone use this week after reading the story “If You Give A Mouse an iPhone” by Ann Droyd. #NationalLibraryWeek2018 #TCSSLibraries #TCSSLearns #CottondaleCLIMBS

Some kids carry around with them the burden of a bad reputation. Be the teacher who gives them a fresh start. Be the teacher who sees in them the potential that their parents see. YOU can be the teacher that helps them “turn the corner.”

Our A.R. Reading Challenge is really heating up in its final day! Will the boys or girls be victorious?! #ReadAcrossAmerica #CottondaleCLIMBS #TCSSLearns #TCSSLibraries

Teacher: a person who often refers to other people’s kids as “my kids,” because they care about them as if they are their kids. #armmewith

After 4th and 5th graders discussed “finding and developing my why” today during Team Time, they created goals for themselves using #MakeBeliefsComix. #TCSSlibraries #TCSSLearns #CottondaleCLIMBS #Inspire #characterdevelopment

A 10 second conversation with a student as they walk into your class will probably mean more to them than your 45 minute lesson.
