I love this article on normalizing failure in education, y'all:

https://www.ascd.org/blogs/normalizing-professional-failure

The point that hit home is that we KNOW the stakes are high in our work --- so failure feels monumental. But that fear can keep us from ever being willing to take risks and to experiment with our practice.

Is that true in your setting? Do teachers (or school leaders) fear failure -- and does that fear prevent them with taking measured risk to experiment with their practice?

Mistakes were made

I'm also a #Bilingual #Bilingualism researcher, but in #Japan, as well as an #EdTech pioneer, so I'm with you, bro! I noticed you changed from #HumanitiesCommons - where I'm set up and have my home Website https://japanned.hcommons.org - so I was wondering what good reason you must have had to change instances. As I understand it, Twitter allows 280 characters, Mastodon usually 500, but #HumanitiesCommons allows 1,000. I always take it to the limit :)
Now I see that your server also allows 1,000, so cheers!

It's really quite exciting starting up on Mastodon.
Rather like opening a door in a wall and suddenly finding you are in a party with some old friends and lots of new interesting people.
As one who was an early adopter of Twitter, it also is very reminiscent of the old days when I first realised how useful social media could be for meeting new people and learning new stuff.

Doing a proper #introduction post to goad myself into posting here more...

I'm Lauren. I trained as a #historian, though I'm often somewhere in critical #interdisciplinary #CulturalStudies spaces these days, via a patchwork of casual/sessional roles.

I wrote a PhD and book about the history of #MiltonKeynes and its negative cultural reputation. I work on contested landscapes, and how they reflect temporal orientations. I also give workshops on #ResearchMethods , #DisabilityStudies , writing, #reflexivity, and #history for non-historians. My current project is on #eco-crip #QualitativeMethodology and fatigue epistemologies, which is unfolding at an extremely #CripTime pace.

While I joined here to follow #histodons, I will also sorely miss #CriticalRole and #Dimension20 loreposting (and #TTRPG liveplay livetweets in general). If you have elaborate theories about #ExUCalamity I am all ears.

Having never used so many hashtags in one space before, I think I need to go lie down.

I don’t understand why people think Mastodon is difficult. It seems pretty straightforward, and the separate servers are no biggie. I’m enjoying this fresh start here, like moving to a new apartment!

Hello everyone! I have written a climate and nature guide to Mastodon, with some of my top follows. Lots of you are on it! https://medium.com/@horton_official/climate-and-nature-guide-to-mastodon-4ec18a7fafa4

Hello Mastodon. My name is Liz. I’m a historian of early America. My research area is the American Revolution. I am slowly working on a born multimedia project about American union and the Articles of Confederation. I’m best known for my public-facing # history podcast, Ben Franklin’s World.

I just picked my 13YO up from school. She had an ALICE drill today, the first time in years she’s had to barricade herself in the room and sit there quietly in the dark (as opposed to escaping).
She knew it was a drill but she was still scared.

It happened during French class. One of her classmates asked the young teacher, born in Paris, what ALICE drills were like in France. “They don’t do ALICE drills in France.”

No other country traumatizes our kids like this. @shannonrwatts

What's it with people reporting every single one they dont like..

Please, stop with that.

This is not #Twitter. Please use features like mute or block if you don't like people but stop reporting otherwise I'll start banning people who keep reporting for nothing

I'm trying to keep things running with so many new people and it's such a waste of time to hear whatever you don't like

Otherwise go waste Elon's time, not mine

#Introduction

Apparently I should write an #introduction. Hi, I’m Kate. I work in #education #publishing (digital product management side), live in #Oxford, and my interests include #books, #cats, #history, (too much) #TV, #singing in a choir, occasional #running, and obsessing over the state of the world. I have joined Mastodon as part of the #Twitter exodus and am still finding my feet, so apologies in advance for any missteps!
