Developing Digital Detectives is essential for our students to be media literate! Shifting the questions we ask when looking at information shared on the internet. #JCPSLSA2021 #JCPSlibraries @JCPS_LMS @jenniferlagarde

Listening to The AMAZING Pernille Ripp and it’s refreshing to be reminded that it’s not WRONG to encourage self-selection!! I am here to guide them and encourage reading, even if their choice is not their level! #readinginschool #bringbacktime #jcpslibraries

I was so fortunate to hear this inspiring man for a second time!

"When I got in trouble, I wasn't sent to the principals office. I was sent to the library." Works for me! That's where I went whenever I cut class... Powerful talk about implicit bias with @docspeaks @JCPS_LMS #jcpslibraries #flipthescript #LSA2020vision

A6: I also think it is really important to understand most kids although immersed in tech, they really aren't competent in work-related tech skills. We assume too much and often there is no adult at home to help them. #NTIForum

[Amanda Klakamp @BrownSchoolLib]

@UofL_EdLead A4: Really something we can answer? All confined to our spaces and really have no clue what anyone is going through. Physically, mentally, emotionally. Who has lost loved ones? Who is without food or companionship? This is why checking in on all parties in necessary. #NTIforum

[Amanda Klakamp @BrownSchoolLib]

@UofL_EdLead A3: Helping teachers when they are already so overwhelmed, finding a balance between work and 4 kids, 7 and under (1 with special needs). Finding my place/role as a k-12 librarian in an NTI world. #ntiforum

[Amanda Klakamp @BrownSchoolLib]

@UofL_EdLead A2: sharing resources for teachers, students AND parents, using Google Classroom and our Libguides. Also being available as is to answer patron emails when they need me!

[Amanda Klakamp @BrownSchoolLib]

@UofL_EdLead A1: Amanda Klakamp, Librarian at The J. Graham Brown School. Can’t wait to hear from @CoachNicole_ !

First day of NTI and I was able to share a tutorial of our Brown School Libguide for K-2 families, using Google Meet and Google Classroom! Can’t wait to share more resources! #jcpslibraries @mybrownschool

[Amanda Klakamp @BrownSchoolLib]

Taking it to the next level...Love that students are stepping up to help clean books to keep books clean and germs at bay! #jcpslibraries

Yesterday we had the honor of working with #TomWatson, author of the series #StickDog and #StickCat! Thank you for inspiring our young authors and illustrators! @mybrownschool

I cannot stop thinking about this incredible man and his profound message. I want to find his videos and watch him OVER AND OVER (real life would be better; think he and his wife want a 9th child 🧐) Thank you @docspeaks for inspiring and spreading love and light! 😍
