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!

@ChristianMcM I dunno, really. Hard to tell. I fell as though a tightly focused instance could be really useful, and a wider audience instance could be good, too (for different reasons...). I'm on .social and .xyz, and they are each very different places. I wish there were better ways to keep track of multiples (besides tabs in a browser...)

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)

@NinahMarie @VevaDan So folks are running different instances in different tabs of a browser. Works, I suppose. Thanks!

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?
