Top Tweets of #alamw20 #alaleftbehind

Here are my favorite tweets from Midwinter so far. They make me feel like I’m there when I’m #alscleftbehind.

Coding, #girlpower. We need better.

"1.4 million jobs will be open in the U.S. in computing-related fields. 3% will be filled by women." Learning about #GirlsWhoCode and thinking about how to implement this in my school. #BraveNotPerfect #alamw2020 pic.twitter.com/HJOMRkMkhN

I always like a good crowd sourcing. I feel like librarianship is another form of crowd sourcing.

Crowdsourced at my #alamw20 presentation, "Library Marketing and Advocacy Through Social Media"! Hey, #librariansoftwitter, what are your fav accounts and hashtags relating to anything library/book/literacy/education/advocacy? #alasocialsquad #alamw2020 @alalibrary pic.twitter.com/3KvUw20dsd

Totally jealous of the Reading Terminal Market. It makes me hungry just thinking about it.

#ALAMW20 highlights: Reading Terminal Market (Dutch Eating Place, lunch at Profi's Creperie, Amina's Traditional Syrian Foods) + Data Visualization. What were yours? #alamw2020 #opensource #oss #travel #conferences #librarylife pic.twitter.com/25rYw0GMAD

Hashtags are confusing and I’m creeping on all of them- so you are not a bad librarian Andrea! You’re getting more followers this way? Maybe?

I think I know Beth and I’m happy she didn’t have a long wait at the post office. Those post office waits can be CRAZY. Even If I don’t know Beth, I’m happy for her.

Been going these things for over a decade and this is by far the smoothest and easiest conference post office experience I’ve ever had #alamw2020

A sad, but always necessary reminder.

Being nice to someone does NOT equal consent to predatory behavior. #alamw20 #alamw2020

For you, dear #Teachers. A great reminder to make time—yes, even in upper grades, even when you already have “so much to cover”—to read aloud. @ncte #alamw2020 https://t.co/TexUO3e2H3
