If you are interested in the why of education technology as well as the how, take a look at Metaphors of Edtech, https://read.aupress.ca/projects/metaphors-of-ed-tech. I especially liked “Education is broken” and “Uber for Education”

Really important thing you need to know about Mastodon: You don't need to use the official app!

There are some good third party apps listed on Mastodon's own site:

➡️ https://joinmastodon.org/apps

The third party apps have more features and had way more development time.

Android users might want to start with Tusky and Fedilab

iPhone/iPad users might want to read this: https://transponderings.blog/2022/05/21/eight-mastodon-apps-for-iphone/

Mastodon is an open platform, so third party apps can use its features fully.

Need a process for translating real-life problems into Google Sheets solutions? Try this Socrates-inspired approach. I had a lot of fun with this and figured you might, too! 🙂 https://blog.tcea.org/sheets/ #EduTooter #Education #Socrates #Polya #TCEA #spreadsheets @edutooters

Another note for new #TwitterMigration folks like me: social norms here are that we don’t censor names like “Musk.” It shouldn’t be necessary, because full-text search isn’t really a thing and trolls are actually moderated.

If content is potentially offensive, put it behind a CW, but don’t “c*nsor” it because this breaks people’s filters (i.e., prevents them from being able to mute words).

Did you know that when you put .rss behind your Mastodon profile URL, you get an RSS feed? 😎

@MrsDi I also have a few plugins that I use, I've bookmarked them all here:
https://raindrop.io/trinsec/vivaldi-plugins-28420059

My favorites are:
- Simple Gmail Notes.
- Short Gmail Labels
- Gmail-Rightlabel

And the number one that I just cannot live without anymore:

- Dark Reader
My eyes are sensitive, dark mode for the win!

A fedi-tip or whatever it's called for people that follow a fuck-ton of people by accident like me:
Make a "friends" list of the people you're closest to and mostly follow that instead (add it as a tab in Tusky, or a column in the advanced web view, or whatever your app can do), and dip into the regular following list for a few mins while you're waiting for the kettle to boil or something. Much nicer and more meaningful connections, and best of both worlds really x

A little disappointed that we're using #AcademicMastodon. #AcademicFedi or #AcademicToots when #Macademia was RIGHT THERE.

KEEP IN MIND! #Mastodon doesn't work like #Twitter!

Have you just made the #Twexit or the #TwitterMigration?

Favorites ⭐ - they're not "likes". They don't "elevate" posts, they just the poster know you liked their post.

Boosts 🔁 - these push someone's post into your friends feeds (and help discovery).

So if you ⭐ my posts, that's great (and I love you too)!

But if you 🔁 posts, then more people see them!

OH! - #Hashtags are how you search!
