Social media is awash with ChatGPT and AI and is certainly something that school librarians should have a little knowledge of.
This month's discussion is going to focus on a blog post written by Dr Kay Oddone is not only full of great resources (ok she does include one of mine so I am a little biased 😊) she also poses a great question about the implication for teacher librarians in this new AI world.

I have to say I feel a whole new world is opening up for Librarians with this technology. I really feels asthough, if we play it right, this could be our time to shine. Articles like this demonstrate why and we need to continue to collaborate to help each other demonstrate why our position is unique in schools and allows us to support teachers and SLTs to embrace this new form of IT.
I am fortunate to be the individual chosen in our school, to attend a training session about this. I am taking this as an invitation to the table - other members of staff are equally keen and would have been good candidates for the investment so I'm grabbing it and in the mean time will be reading and watching all I can. I attended a free seminar this afternoon given by IAPS (https://iaps.uk/professional-development/ems-event-calendar/chat-gpt-and-ai-in-education-what-is-it-and-what-does-it-mean-for-your-students-and-staff.html) and will work my way through more over the coming weeks.
Thanks for sharing this and thanks to Kay for the article, flipboard and links.
