My better half and I are proposing the following counterpoint to STEM education:
History
Art
Music
Literature
Ethics
Technology
That’s HAMLET if you’re iffy with acrostics.
It seems to us that the world would be a better place if STEM wasn’t taught in isolation.
I dunno if any educators will see this on here, but: I'm wondering what education hashtags might be popular/useful. I'm used to
#edchat and
#edtech on the bird site, but those don't seem to be big here- or, maybe, there just aren't *that many* educators on here. Ideas?
I’ve re-upped this account after letting it sit for a good long time. I remember liking it over here, but it was/is difficult to find people to follow.
Any advice on methods for that?
Also: anyone doing the
#edchat thing here?
I made my first zine and posted it here:
https://archive.org/details/HSPVol1.1remux It's about education and divergent thinking. Totally analog in its making- lots of pens, glue, paper, razors, and typewriters. Really enjoyed the process, too. Hope you all like and look!
Just a quick observation: choose your instances of Mastodon carefully. I'm on two right now, and the Local Timeline on one is like trying to drink from a fire hose. Federated timeline is just a blur of Japanese toots ripping by.
Stupid question (maybe), but is username searching across instances kinda... weird? Like the results are deeply hit-or-miss? (just got on a second instance and am trying to re-build my following list... a bit)
How, I wonder, are people handling being in multiple instances at the same time? Switching between them easily? Like with slack, how I can be signed into multiple teams at the same time. Or multiple google accounts at once. Ideas? Tools?
Also: after using tweetdeck for so long, this web-based interface feels... cramped. Any apps (osx) out there I should check out? (Already running Amaroq on m' fone)
How does that "show more" button thing work? Any other tricks like that I should know about? Is there user-based FAQ somewhere I should bookmark?
