Learning about Mastodon

 


With all the hubbub around Twitter and whether it's safe to continue on that platform, I've been trying to figure out what to do - stay or go? On the one hand, the diatribe and vicious language promoting hate are so off-putting. On the other hand, I have found Twitter to have been the most incredible professional learning tool.  Because I follow mostly education-related people, those are mostly the kinds of posts I see. There has been a lot of conversation about abandoning Twitter. It seems that many people are moving to Mastadon. I first ran across it from a Tweet from Miguel Guhlin. 

So I tried it out. Other Educators have jumped on board and there are some great tutorials which I will link to below. I don't know if it's going to replace Twitter. I guess I am just used to Twitter and how it worked, and now this is a change. I will say I find it much easier to read posts on the phone app Metatext. More soon!

Students today are using technology more than ever, and it only makes sense to use tech tools for a 21st century education. But innovations in instructional technology seem to pop up anew every day, and without your ear to the ground, it’s easy to miss important new developments. To help you keep up with the latest in instructional technology, we’ve highlighted 80 of the best Twitter feeds in the field. These Twitter users report, analyze, and even use instructional technology, sharing their own unique experiences that we can all learn from.
