    Uniting from the Library: How a bird’s nest brought a school community together (S9, E1)

    In this season premiere of Future Ready Schools' Leading from the Library podcast, hosted by Shannon McClintock Miller (@shannonmmiller), special guest Jill Kelly ( Media Specialist at Martin Technology Academy of Math and Science in Flowery Branch, Georgia) shares a heartwarming story of how an unexpected discovery united an entire school community. When a student spotted a bird’s nest on the window sill of the school’s learning commons, what started as a moment of curiosity blossomed into a powerful shared experience. With the help of a webcam and a YouTube live stream, students and staff were able to monitor the nest and its eggs in real time, turning this natural occurrence into an educational and community-building event. Jill reflects on how this unplanned learning opportunity fostered collaboration, curiosity, and a special bond within the school. Tune in to hear how following the unexpected led to a meaningful connection that could never have been scripted.
