PRONOUNS
Allow me to share this perspective as a Panamanian who was raised in the Canal Zone and then came to the United States when he was 10 years old to attend private, Catholic schools until high school graduation. It was a sheltered upbringing, by design of course by loving parents. Still, I want to be clear about something often taken for granted.
I cannot support hatred of individuals. I do not accept skin color or LGBTQ+ as a reason for poor treatment of other people. This has never been more needed, especially in education and online spaces like this one, given the level of hate and bias.
Being who you are should not result in blind bias or hatred. I reject that and the frames that people have adopted that result in such hate.
As a Latinx who grew up in the Republic of Panama and then Texas, I have my own perspective.
My own identity as a cisgender (he/him/his), a bilingual/bicultural speaker, a person caught between two cultures, I have not suffered the slings and arrows of bias, prejudice that I can only ally with, including #Black #LGBTQ+ #IndigenousPeoples.
Since I speak and write in Standard English, I enjoy a level of white privilege due to my skin color (from my Swedish father) and my last name (“Guhlin” is Swedish, not Latino), I know that my life experience does not give me the authority to speak in more certain terms.
So, I offer my perspective in this space in a tentative way, and hope that I can learn with and from others.

The #K12 #EdTech Safety Benchmark report: https://internetsafetylabs.org/resources/reports/2022-k12-edtech-safety-benchmark-national-findings-part-1/
"28% of apps were Non-Education Specific...effectively providing no limits or guardrails for children"
"Nearly all apps (96%) share children’s personal information with third parties,
78% of the time with advertising and monetization entities, typically without
the knowledge or consent of the users or the schools"

Hi all - just a wee plug for my #art website which I’ve just spent all day updating! I’m a #doctor by day (and night), but an #artist in my dreams! I #draw mostly #portraiture and #Aotearoa #NZ, but have some statement pieces too.
If you felt comfortable, I’d really appreciate a #boost to get myself out on to #Mastodon’s art instances and on to people’s federated timelines. Meri Kirihimete all! X
Today I said goodbye to Twitter (at least until things... doubtful... improve), and I think #TwitterMigration will increase, so another introduction!
I'm an information science professor who researches #techethics #aiethics #onlinecommunities #hci #cseducation and #fandom (also, at least once, all of those things at the same time!)
I also do a lot of science communication (and occasional silliness) on #TikTok (@professorcasey) and my #YouTube (CaseyFieslerPhD) is full of #gradschool advice!
Mastodon relay functions download all subject matter posts from relay server/instances.
I think the user algorithms add enough general posts.
So, I'm working on adding something that will just grab #Native #NativeMastodon #Indigenous #IndigenousMastodon posts from other selected server/instances.
These posts will import into the Federated timeline for https://Mvskoke.social users.

Hi folks! New here so I'll post a little #introduction. I'm an activist, musician and writer based in Boston. I help run @team . I write poppy queer political punk songs and have a few albums out on Get Better Records & Don Giovanni Records (read more about that here https://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/evan-greer-spotify-is-surveillance/). I care a lot about the ways tech policy impacts LGBTQ+ folks & other marginalized communities. I'm starting to think through a book project exploring abolitionist tech policy. Happy to be here! <3
I have a surprise for you all. 😏
I've committed someone to create a proper logo for #Sengi.
I didn't go the "contest" way because it leads to make people work for free. So I found someone that has a nice portfolio and paid upfront.
He just sent me the result, I'm waiting for the final files but... here it is! 😀

My Teaching Philosophy (because what could be a better use of bandwidth than one more person telling you how to feel about public education?) - https://bluecerealeducation.com/my-teaching-philosophy-0 #teachers #education #pedagogy @edutooters #edutooter
Hey folks, I’m a social lead at a leading university in Canada and am trying to figure out whether it’s feasible to set up an instance for staff, faculty, and students.
Recognize that this is a big undertaking without many examples to draw from. So, if you’ve encountered any schools or Higher-Ed institutes (or are one!), I’d love to hear about it/you.
