And thank you to @mstewartscience.bsky.social for the SLJ referral! If you haven't already read Melissa's EXCELLENT piece in School Library Journal about educators & Bluesky, see www.slj.com/story/Lookin...

#EduSky #SchoolLibraryJournal
Screenshot of article excerpt from School Library Journal. Title of article: "Looking for a Twitter/X Alternative? Try Bluesky" by Melissa Stewart. Illustration by Debbie Ridpath Ohi shows a pony-tailed dark-skinned woman in a winter coat walking over a snowy hill and looking at cloud writing that says "Bluesky". On the far green hill, we see a diverse group of people chatting with each other.
