saintjenn Apr 12 @ 7:38 PM EDT

A1 - I have Instagram but haven't done much with it. I prob should use more since Ss would engage with that more than Twitter. #msla

ms_l_harrington - Moderator Apr 12 @ 7:38 PM EDT

A1 cont'd. New district webpages are so bland and yuck I wanted Insta widget linked on NAHS lib page to beautify! #MSLA

A4: I don't Snap, my son is grateful, and I'm happy to keep it that way. But that's where the Ss are and I'm not sure what to do. #MSLA

LibrarianMsG - Moderator Apr 12 @ 7:52 PM EDT

I always ask kids if they want to be featured on the @instagram acct. some days they don't. That's fine. #MSLA

saintjenn Apr 12 @ 7:52 PM EDT

A3: I follow SLs and techy teachers.... RI School Library twitter page retweets a lot of their happenings. #MSLA

mrterborg Apr 12 @ 7:52 PM EDT

I can't tweet about this, at the risk of offending many librarians who I'll forget to mention. #MSLA

In reply to @LibrarianMsG

LibrarianMsG - Moderator Apr 12 @ 7:53 PM EDT

I do use @Snapchat for my library, but I often forget. With all of the #socialmedia sites I never follow kids. They just follow me. #MSLA
