Jennifer Casa-Todd presenting with a slide titled βAI Literacy & the School Libraryβ
A slide that says βTo what extent should the Library Learning Commons be the center of AI Literacy in a school?β
A slide that says βI think itβs hypocritical that I have to cite my use of AI but that I clearly see teachers using it and they donβtβ 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
A group of people sitting around round tables with a presenter at the front. On the tables are large chart papers with brainstorming ideas written on them.
