@jenniferlagarde @FollettLearning I'm one of those people who have met @brittenfollett. I'm so so disappointed in this response. How insulting to the work we do and the values we stand for.
@donlemon so glad you mentioned the need to teach media literacy this evening. Would love to hear you advocate to have certified school librarians in all schools to support that learning! #schoollibrariansforall#aasl#wla
@arikadickens Me too! It was going to be so great having it closer to home. Plus @BeaverReaders and I were going to represent our state on stag this time unlike last time. But it just didn't feel safe enough.
How do we support children to become critical consumers of print and digital media? Join UW College of Education for a series on media literacy and digital citizenship.

@canva can we get artists to have better racial representation in clipart images? Most images of kids is all white kids, or a group of white kids with a token Black kid.
I'd like to see a better variety. All Black kids, a mix of Black, Asian, multiracial etc Or at the very least the ability to change skin color like you do with other elements of the images.

@disneyplus@netflix@hulu What are your rules about teachers showing content in their classrooms, physical or virtual? There is some great content available but want to follow copyright laws as well.
@lattefriday Change things up. It's OK to do things differently, you are not the same person and your teachers will get use to it. Do what is best for kids, not the adults.
Unpopular opinion of the day: Requiring reading logs documenting how many minutes or pages young people read is more about compliance and exerting control than "motivating" readers or "proving" any reading occurred.
@canva Images with scissors, hammers, cogs, legos, sewing, art, tools robots etc. Something that combines all those items. Or some of these items for simple icons.
