@DonnaMa24771424@dina_toledo@SamanthaBahna My district has access but put together a new tehnology committee with the purpose of evaluating AI. At our first PD of the school year, most teachers surveyed reported they would not use AI and are worried about cheating - an indication that more education is needed.#EDTC627F23
@SamanthaBahna I am wary of AI (ChatGPT); nothing original can come of it. Students struggle with plagiarism, copyrite laws, and the like all through high school despite it being taught in every grade (4-12). In addition, they already struggle with thinking of ideas on their own. #EDTC627F23
@dina_toledo@Amyhinkson30@SamanthaBahna AI can help with editing, but it is not 100% accurate 100% of the time with grammar, etc. Last spring, I tried it in Grade 9 English classes, and we compared tone, diction, and sentnece structure. It was useful but nothing amazing. #EDTC627F23
@PaigeBriglia Students who usually loathe reading ask for reading time - they need to finish it. I am so grateful for Sanchez's perspective and talent!

A5: I see it every single day as a teacher: students see themselves in what we are reading and feel included and are more engaged. When they read things about people who are different from them, they find similarities in their relationships and struggles. #NJLibchat
Q5: Reflect on this statement:
"If children never see themselves reflected in literature, they receive the message that they are
not important to society." #NJLibChat

@yismail1234 Monster is a popular independent reading choice for 9th & 10th grade. They also like the graphic novel, but really love how Dean Meyers wrote the novel like a screenplay.

A3: We all agree: read multiple and reliable reviews, research the author, purpose, etc. If possible, get a copy of the book and examine it yourself. With picture books, it is essential to make sure they are accurate, authentic, and help the author tell the story. #NJLibchat

Not all families have the money to purchase books, the means to travel back and forth to a public library or a lib in their area; public school libraries are the most accessible way for children and their families to have access to literature. #NJLibchat

A1: Well-written (and illustrated) books are an essential way for children to see what the world looks like outside of their home zones. Multicultural literature brings others' experiences into their minds and hearts fostering empathy and compassion. #NJLibchat
