Are there QuakeBots or other accounts that post about earthquakes on Mastodon?

Mastodon is foremost an European-hosted project https://umap.openstreetmap.fr/fr/map/mastodon-near-me_828094

I write to try to find the right questions to ask myself, the ones to reveal the covered truth of myself to myself.

Yes, accurately captioning videos and describing images is morally right and often a legal necessity, but it's not just to benefit the estimated 15% of folks who may have permanent disabilities. Most all of us have experienced temporary or situational disabilities, as well, as depicted in the diagram below and this article: https://www.boia.org/blog/including-temporary-and-situational-disabilities-in-the-accessibility-conversation
And video captions benefit everyone, regardless https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5214590/

Here's an interesting question: How deliberate are your efforts to build relevance into your daily lessons?

Kids ask, "Why are we learning this?" all the time --- and I know we answer that question informally.

But are we taking intentional steps to build relevance?

Research says we aren't --- and I wonder what implications that has for student engagement and motivation.

Good article highlighting ongoing #ransomware threats involving U.S. #education entities over a holiday, when security teams are likely especially under-staffed or at least less focused: https://therecord.media/cincinnati-state-college-one-of-several-schools-added-to-ransomware-leak-sites-on-thanksgiving/

In total, ransomware operators publicly threatened five schools and colleges on extortion sites over the past week, the latest in a rising number of such threats involving higher & lower education over the past year. On top of the cases mentioned in the article, the #Hive & #BianLian ransomware groups each also threatened public K-12 school systems in the last week.

The news comes 10 days after the latest U.S. federal government #StopRansomware alert focused specifically on Hive, which has threatened a wide range of #criticalinfrastructure entities, including #healthcare orgs. The alert offered a great summary of the techniques & procedures associated with Hive. Here is a fantastic new blog highlighting detection engineering ideas around recent Hive behaviors: https://micahbabinski.medium.com/catching-a-wev-tutil-threat-detection-for-the-rest-of-us-f692f01efcd4

A fair amount of #TTP intelligence now exists around the other ransomware threatening education orgs last week and over the past year. I look forward to maintaining & expanding this dashboard which shows a combined visual currently covering the nine ransomware threatening schools since last year: https://app.tidalcyber.com/share/8d9f212a-0312-4c2f-bba5-85ab7c7224c6

I had a great conversation about #fun in #education with my new community here on #Mastodon. What struck me, however, was the difference in the attitudes of educators based on the age of their students. Who (wrongly) decided that #highered students don't need fun in their education?

#introduction Hello #histodons, I'm a historian of the American Revolution and the history of medicine with a book coming out next week. Not a great time for Twitter to fall apart, but I figured I should promote it here too. You can save 40% through 12/10 with code HHOL22 https://www.press.jhu.edu/books/title/12707/contagion-liberty

@brasst ever used QGIS? It's #FOSS (Free and Open Source Software). It'd be great for your students, 'cause then they could run it at home (if they have a computer) without having to try to find a way to use ArcGIS. Then they can take it as far as their interest carries them.

Would be so cool to see schools modelling the use of #FOSS over proprietary software biz models like that employed by ESRI (among other horrible mega tech corps that exploit our kids at every turn).
