I share MANY teaching resources at my Websites of the Day blog and my Education Week column. I won't share them all here on Mastodon, but I do think folks might be interested in my new Ed Week post, featuring educators Neema Avashia and Jennifer Orr.

If your podcast is hosted on @Castopod your audience can listen to your episodes from @Mastodon but also like, share and comment them!

Mastodon is perfect for GenX because we’re all just roaming from house to house totally unsupervised and unless something goes really wrong nobody cares #GenX

Superb graphic explaining tootfeeds by @markwyner@mast.to #twittermigration #mastodontips

We made this tool public for anyone to use—just type in a website to reveal its tracking #technology (or technologies) at themarkup.org/blacklight.

Somebody today posted about including your preferred #pronouns in your #bio. (I'm sorry I've lost the toot, I looked!)

I've resisted for a very long time, but today I was convinced because of a single phrase: "make this the norm".

Right. Because anyone who "has to" include their pronouns is feeling super awkward by doing so.

I have no idea why it's taken me this long to figure out that, by us all doing it, it's a way to care for others that directly impacts them.

Off to fix that now...

What if the universe is set up just like the Fediverse, but we don’t know about the existence of any other life because our Earth instance was preemptively blocked for hateful conduct.

Understanding #Mastodon gets easier once you get the basic idea that federation between servers can be understood as homeomorphisms across hyperplanes between the Riemannian manifolds of toots, whereas the servers represent countable finite sets of discrete entities.

#️⃣ This video helped me add a column to Mastodon that contains various hashtags I want to follow.

I don't know if anyone else gets anxious about phone calls but a little tip I've learned is: if there is a phone call that I don't want to make, before I start dialing the number, I carefully hold the phone in my hand & toss it gently into a lake. I hope this advice helps others.
