Exciting News #TLSkyChat !! @jenniferlagarde.bsky.social and I will be hosting the FIRST Teacher Librarian Chat on BlueSky next Wednesday, December 4th. ✅ Each chat will be on Wednesday at 8pm EST (5pm PST) ✅ Add the feed by pinning this chat: bsky.app/profile/did:...

So almost two weeks in to using @bsky.app and am feeling so much happiness connecting with #EduSky educators I missed for the old place! So great to feel refreshed and connected to educators who are passionate about what we do!

I am looking for my #YRDSB colleagues! Going to create a starter pack. Reply if you want to be added....need 7 to start.

Here’s what I would like to see added to @bsky.app: 1) Edit post option. 2) Schedule post. What are your #BlueSkyDreams?

Came across this when I was learning more about @bsky.app. Helped me understand things a little better. No I want to figure out if I can follow a starter path so that I can add numbers as the list grows. lifehacker.com/tech/how-to-...

Tonight I’m reminded of this old idea I often shared on Twitter. An app like this isn’t going to change your life, but the educators you meet here will. Grateful to have a space like this open again. #EduSky #EduSkyChat
