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.
So happy you can connect with us tonight. WE post the quetions early so everyone can have some time to select their best responses. Results in a quality chat. #txlchat
A3: I don’t really have a favorite tech tool, but I recently learned about (and likeusing) https://t.co/ykTk9DiV1O free photo editor and collage maker, and I would like to learn more about coding tools that we could use in the library.
A4: I know that I am a little behind with this, but I just
started Makerspaces in the library, and love it!
These are some things that I recently tried, but I can’t
wait to dig deeper into it! https://t.co/WmIPacAzWP
A2.) Favorite picture book for this time of year: #TheDark by @lemonysnicket. It’s such a great read aloud, and it’s got beautiful illustrations. #txlchat
Shared Creepy Carrots with my self-contained friends at the HS this month! And also this video from the amazing lip sync! https://t.co/xkOakpeQpg#txlchat
A1: Ghosts Of The Rio Grande by @DavidOBowles is a fav at our high school. (It has some pictures) We’re hosting spooky tales and a costume parade in the lib tomorrow! #txlchat
A2: Invisible lady at our high school will read scary books from our spooktacular reads display. Watch out for the zombies at the middle school. They’ll grab back when you reach for a book. #txlchat
Wow, lots of creativity in our story book character pumpkins. You can still bring the pumpkin decorated as a character of a book all next week. But remember, we are sending home pumpkins on Wednesday!

A3 So many good ones. Right now we are loving @anchor@iorad and @line_graphics About to learn more about @gosynth tomorrow during a conference call but it has a lot of potential! #txlchat
A3: I love to use @RemindHQ with my student groups. Quick & effective way to send out info to Ss & Ps. I have to mention @trello for project management. It keeps my projects organized, color coded, task oriented. It’s my lifesaver. #txlchat
Our Halloween page https://t.co/HGJsV7kV3M has subject area links for LA, SS, Math, Social Studies & Science. Texas' own @TechNinjaTodd gave his teachers pumpkins & had them design Book Character Pumpkins which was a great PD for his staff. #txlchat@TxASL@aasl@TXLA#edchat
A4 Not super new for us but we have had huge success with paint nights. Great collaboration with our art teacher and can be adjusted to skill level and expense. Ours is open to staff and students so its a great cross generational event https://t.co/QsrZ9nyhlV#txlchat
Students and staff are enjoying our first Paint Night event of the year! Thanks to Mr. Crane, one of our art teachers, and the Library, this event is offered to students for free various times throughout the year. #paschalproud#paschalhighschool
A4: Something I think my Ss would love is #BookSnaps and Poetry Snaps. They already love graphics and Snapchat. I want to take this to the next level and have them integrate graphics to show how they relate to what they read. #txlchat
A4: #speeddatingbooks for our most at risk seniors tomorrow. I’m ready with cool bookmarks and spider rings! And popcorn treats and notes for my Fab #elateachers who are so supportive. #Txlchat
My 2nd yr doing scavenger hunts with Ts & Ss. I’ll ask Ts for their fav book, villain, any topic works. I create posters and place them around the school. Ss need to figure out the clues in the posters along with Ts picture.(Throwback pics)They come in to lib for prizes. #txlchat

A4 Try the Screaming Pumpkin Piano on Scratch with MakeyMakeys and mini pumpkins as keys (Hint: you can poke a paper clip through the skin and clip your alligator clip to it) https://t.co/Cmahwod3L2#txlchat
A4. I changed the circulation sounds in Destiny to Halloween screams and movie lines. I really wish I could have videoed their initial reactions — teachers and students alike! Sneaky Mrs. Flores #txlchat
I used to have a scream sound activated in Destiny that sounded on overdue check ins but found out it also affected the textbook check ins and it was freaking out our vice principal. #txlchat
