@NAEmmanuele As a high school librarian, I try to have students focus on gathering a range of expert perspectives prior to developing an argument. I also find that language like “perspective taking” is also more nuanced than picking a side.

How do our constructions of “argumentative” writing reinforce binary, us-vs-them thinking when students have to pick a “pro” and “con” side? Would it still be “argumentative” if students selected between two viable options that aimed toward a similar outcome?

@DrKatrinaAdkins We still use these. We call it Pony mail.

Yo teachers- if you know what this is, I’ll add a little extra night cream under my eyes for you tonight! #WeOld #teachers #educators #ISTELive22

@knoxdiver Salt and pepper shakers behind some shelved books in my high school library.

Hey #LibraryTwitter, what's the strangest thing you have ever found in the library? Could be a makeshift bookmark or something tucked into the stacks or left in a stufy room. Please RT for science!

@slj OMG - @sljournal sorry!

My son picked librarian for his career project! Pictures are from @SLJ 😊📚

I just found some of my CustomInk gear, all unworn/tagged. T-shirts, long sleeve Ts, hoodies & crew neck sweatshirts—including some designs/styles no longer available. All size L. Want some? RT this tweet + follow me and I’ll pick a winner here and one on Instagram to get some.

@CHS_Media_SMCPS I was told that you could only get them resoled was if the sole hadn’t worn down to the cork. 🤷🏻‍♀️

@kapjohnson You can get them recorked/resoled and they are just like new.

I have to document somewhere that I bought these Birkenstocks my first year of teaching. I think they saw their last day this week when a chunk of the cork sole broke off in the library. 17 years!! 2 classrooms, 2 libraries, 3 schools.

ALERT- This bill will be discussed tomorrow. Reach out to the MD Ways and Means Committee and urge them to vote NO! canva.com/design/DAE2jgL…

For YEARS I thought I was burnt out, and in some cases, I was. But perhaps in a more real way, I’ve been demoralized. I work with amazing people, and am so blessed to have job. But autonomy and creativity can be quashed by outside forces and platitudes. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the…

@kelly_j_baker My mother in law says H-I-J-K. Like the letters of alphabet in order. “Like, where are my H-I-J-K keys”.

@LMS_United @WPray_ @gileslibrarian @actinginthelib @southwellibrary @carolynvibbert Just listened to this episode. YES- your segment spoke to me. Tech has taken over my job. I’m missing things that should be my job for being the “Best Buy Tech Squad” and helping with testing.

Presenting our digital soapbox!!! TY @gileslibrarian @actinginthelib @WPray_ @southwellibrary and @carolynvibbert for your passion and perseverance in the name of school #libraries and #librarians #librarytwitter #BetterTogether schoollibrariansunited.libsyn.com/145-round-1-ca…

Yes, I agree! Focus on libraries of places of choice and multiple viewpoints rather than banned books.

@theblendEDlib @LMS_United @fcpsmedia @EHainesFCPS @AmyFCPSAchieve I literally just finished listening to it! You did an awesome job!! I hadn’t known about your FKT - you are a superhuman!

Check out my episode of #SchoolLibrariansUnited @LMS_United I had such a great time chatting with Amy Hermon about PD #fcpsvanguard @fcpsmedia @EHainesFCPS @AmyFCPSAchieve

@Caamp my 7 year old son and I love your music. He’s convinced that “All The Debts I Owe” is autobiographical Can drop a note to tell him you aren’t actually felons?
