Greetings from Japan! I've just set up a 🦣 Online Education group for digital pedagogy or the educational application of technologies such as social media, video, podcasting, online classes or conferences, and what have you.

If you follow @OnlineEducation like you follow a person, you can see or share posts addressed to the group. I set it so that I and others cannot see who the members are until you comment or post to the group.

My publications in the field of online education are linked from wilmina.academia.edu/SteveMcCa or japanned.hcommons.org/e-learni

Watch for my article on #podcasting very soon. A culmination of 27 years is "Online Education as a Discipline" (2021): doi.org/10.20935/AL434

"Ask yourself at every moment, Is this necessary?" Marcus Aurelius

Probably not, but it helps pass the time 🤣

An introduction: I'm Joseph, a teacher in Canberra, Australia; my teaching areas are Legal Studies, English and Textiles (it's a long story!) I'm passionate about student wellbeing and data based approached to education. I like to garden and listen to comedy podcasts. I recently finished my Master's degree in Education where I specialised in student behaviour and educational leadership. I'm a big fan of Gert Biesta. I look forward to meeting all the educators in the fediverse!

Help your friends come over here to the promised land. Here's a post I wrote that takes folks through it, step-by-step.

#Introduction Mastodon newb here. Trying to figure this out. Interested in intelligent discourse about politics, actual facts about #COVID from health practitioners, #basicincome, #ClimateChange, just trying to ensure a better world for my future grandchildren.

Public Service Warning

Mastodon has a very big surge of new users right now. There's no way to tell if it will be sustained, but at this early point it looks similar to Nov 18 when when Musk pulled the employee purge.

It is very challenging for system administration to accommodate so many new users. If your server starts to struggle, it is not broken and will get sorted out.

We're all in this together. It's our social network. Be patient. What we are building is amazing.

#MastodonNews Dec 15, 2022

Elon Musk’s Twitter bans CNN, NYT, WaPo journalists without explanation >>> cnn.com/2022/12/15/media/twitt

The accounts belonging to CNN’s Donie O’Sullivan, The New York Times’ Ryan Mac, The Washington Post’s Drew Harwell and other journalists who have covered Musk aggressively in recent weeks were all abruptly permanently suspended. The account of progressive independent journalist Aaron Rupar was also banned.

80% of Black Americans said social media help shed light on rarely discussed issues; the same share of White Americans said these sites distract from more important issues. pewresearch.org/internet/2018/ #PewResearch #BlackMastodon @sociology

@MrsDi thanks for sharing that!

Free covid tests by mail 

I know, the content warning sounds like a spam email header, but the White House will soon be reviving their free at-home COVID testing program.

politico.com/news/2022/12/14/f

Starting tomorrow, you should be able to request tests via UPS from covid.gov/tests

In the meantime, people in limited areas including Seattle are be eligible for another free tests-by-mail program.

Another domain that looks like a spam site, but I've used sayyescovidhometest.org/ repeatedly.

As you may have heard, in addition to permanently suspending the accounts of several national journalists & the official #Mastodon account:
nbcnews.com/tech/social-media/
#Twitter now also flags links to many popular Mastodon servers as 'unsafe'.
