The #TXLchat provides a forum for Texas librarians (but not limited to Texas librarians) to create collaborative connections, share educational resources, and foster life-long learning.
Thank you all so much for joining us tonight for #KyLChat! Join us again on Tuesday, February 13th at 8:00p.m. EST. If you want to continue the fun, hop on over to #txlchat, which starts... now!
A1: It promotes collaboration. Last year I brought two ELA teachers. They saw the value of #makerspace in ELA in the library in addition to books! #txlchat
I built an animated book carousel / slideshow out of Google Slides to showcase the new books that are purchased every year for my school library. All books run on a preset animation timer. Read more & download the template: https://t.co/vJ7oHtm2Ue#NJLibchat#tlchat#njasl
A1: Teachers get an inside look at our library world by attending TLA. Itâs also a great opportunity for us to collaborate and develop potential collaborative ideas. #txlchat
A1: This is a great opportunity for the two of you to glean ideas to further collaboration and provide double the teaching force and opportunity to differentiate and engage your students. #NISDLibs#TxLchat
A1: #TDTLA strengthens relationships between teachers and librarians and promotes collaboration. @RyanDamron attended last year's Teacher Day and he and I have been working together this year on a school-wide reading program. It gives a peek into library world! #txlchat
A2 Opportunities like Teacher Day@TLA can open Ts to a world of resources, including people resources. Hopefully Ts will walk away feeling like their lib has their back! #txlchat
TLA is an amazing experience for anyone, not just librarians it provides, ideas, content and perhaps most importantly contacts with people who are doing great things and will help others do their own great things
#txlchat
A1 They get a better idea of what we do and we both get opportunities to collaborate together? #txlchat Mike, MD, EL LMS, heading south where it's warmer?
A2 Hopefully they will get some good professional learning & get to see how awesome the profession of librarianship is! Plus they will get to hear an amazing author. #txlchat
A2: #TDTLA provides an abundance of opportunities and resources for Ts classrooms and beyond. It gives a strong introduction to the library world, what we do and how we can work together to make our schools and programs more powerful and more meaningful. #txlchat
A3 Pick out sessions that you can attend with a T that align with campus goals. Share with Admin how you will work with Ts when you return to meet those goals. #txlchat
A3 Tie it into existing strategic plan or educational goals. Always good to show how TLA attendance will creative opportunities to better serve students. Think Maker etc. What better place to learn on how others are collaborating and helping students #txlchat

A4. Never had opportunity 2 attend a principals' conference w/an admin - always thought that would be an amazing way 2 develop relationship w/principal & create opportunity 4 coleadership #txlchat

Bravo @BIS_Library Can you twist your principal's arm 2 attend #TxLA18 & give a testimonial during ur copresentation? Could be powerful 4 all! #txlchat
A4: I plan to attend TCTELA to collaborate with my ELA teachers. TCEA is another favorite to learn more about technology for the classroom and library. #txlchat
A4 I get so much out of conferences like TCEA and ISTE too. Learning alongside educators who do different roles. Helps me look at my role in a different way. #txlchat
A3 Go to your admin with a plan. Decide with your teachers which sessions you want to attend and how you will put that knowledge into action once you come back #txlchat
A5: make plans/goals to follow up with implementation, and also be sure the T talks to other Ts on campus about the opportunity for collab with #schoollibrarian#collaborationforthewin#txlchat
A5 Inviting Admin to the library to see a collaboration so they can see 1st hand the learning that came from that day & how it benefits student achievement! #txlchat
A5) For anything I do, I do a one page write up on what I learned, was it valuable, can it be used in my current setting. This keeps me organized and lets me refer back to what actually happened at TLA bc it is so much in a short period of time. Also great for webinars #txlchat
A5: make plans/goals to follow up with implementation, and also be sure the T talks to other Ts on campus about the opportunity for collab with #schoollibrarian#collaborationforthewin#txlchat
A5: Have a plan in place and stick to it as best as you can - set a time after #TDTLA to sketch out how to implement what you learned. Share and collaborate with admin. Reflect, plan, do, and repeat! #txlchat
A5 Follow up meetings for discussion of what was learned. New collaboration opportunities, and opportunities to present these new collaboration opportunities at staff meetings #txlchat
A4: NISD librarians and Library Services (San Antonio) are checking out TCEA again this year, and SXSW, Our like-mindedness makes all conferences a learning venue to consider. #TxLchat#NISDLib ##TDTLA
A5 Share what youâve learned! Meet together with admin to share your new knowledge, PD for staff, invite admin to observe your lessons, and donât forget to thank them for the opp #txlchat
A5: Make plans to share out your TLA experience with other T's and make it clear that this is an opportunity to further TTESS outcomes in the right direction! #TxLchat#NISDLib ##TDTLA
@richellereads Is there some way we could encourage the Teachers that attend TD@TLA to tweet their experiences with a special hashtag Or are we already doing that #txlchat
