Please follow @auschwitzmuseum There’s no more important way to stamp out antisemitism and racial hate than supporting the documented history of the hell it led humanity into.

@edutooters Anyone explored this list and/or know a response to Tami's question? #edutooter (this is also a test of a quoted toot to see if I can amplify Tami's original toot)

I posted a list of some #EdDev #FacDev folks a while back: https://mastodon.social/@dougholton/109347996243321748
Here's a thread of different groups of #education folks on mastodon, in case you're looking for folks to follow, in areas such as #EdResearch #STEMeducation #MathEd #ScienceEducation #EdDev #FacDev #EdTech #CommunityCollege #HigherEd #EdPolicy #Teachers (search hashtags like those to find others). Feel free to reply with others I missed/yourself.

Fellow #EduTooter @edutooters Not sure if I shared this with you, but you may find it helpful if you're are still using the "stock" or "official" Mastodon app. This is a list of alternatives I have tried myself and enjoyed using. Share as you like, boost, or retoot/post.
Some have mentioned there are other great apps. I know about @ivory (iOS) @megalodon (Android) but if you're using something amazing on your device, please share back. This is a teaser image from an upcoming blog entry at #TCEA #TechNotes #blog https://blog.tcea.org but it's not out yet (written, done, scheduled but it won't come out until later this month).

This article makes me ask, "Whose culture are we transmitting? And, should we be? Maybe, it's time to decide (again) what #culture to pass on...a kindler, gentler one, for sure.
Article:
Education as civilization-building - by François Chollet https://fchollet.substack.com/p/education-as-civilization-building
#education is the process through which the body of knowledge and culture that we have been accumulating for thousands of years passes from our generation to the next one.
It is the steel making up an uninterrupted chain of cultural transmission, accretion, and renewal, stretching back to the emergence of language — back when humans first became truly human. The default state of our culture, our technology, our science, our stories, is not eternal progress — it is fast decay.
Without proper education, the next generation forgets, and soon enough, cultures fall into decadence. What took thousands of years to discover may be forgotten in a few generations. #edutooter @edutooters #teaching #learning #language
#Introduction (again), since I changed instances **and** lost all my followers and following. I'm a K to college #homeschool mom. For 10+ years, I led a secular statewide advocacy group & helped write @HomeEducation regulations in #Maryland. I like to toot about serendipitous learning opps, #SelfDirectedLearning, & #unschooling. I offer critical analysis of #homeschool research because if we want respect as a valid #SchoolChoice, we can't push BS statistics.
I love to read, learn, and write about it. "The key is to keep company only with people who uplift you, whose presence calls forth your best." -Epictetus #Quotes #Stoic #mastodon
