I keep seeing people say Mastodon is nothing like Twitter. And they’re right.
Mastodon is an echo of the old internet, it’s decentralised, chaotic. What you get depends on your sysadmin. You can’t search, everything has to be shared to you by a human. Networks split apart and rejoin. What you see is your unique connection to it.
Is this good? Maybe. But for me that’s the internet I grew up with. No algorithms, no targeted adverts, just human interaction, and it was glorious.
Dr. Gary Ackerman here. I’m a retired #science #math #computerscience #teacher and #technology coordinator. Now serving as the director of the teaching and learning innovation center at a #communitycollege in northeast USA.
My interests include online teaching and learning, educational technology, sound pedagogy, andragogy and heutagogy.
I'm nearing the end of redeveloping two courses for the spring semester. If you were teaching "Linux Programming" (with a focus on server management) and or "Network Security," what would you say "must be in the syllabus?"
These are community college students in the United States.
Hello Mastodon...
Dr. Gary Ackerman joining the community. My field is "educational technology" which sure is broad. In my role as the director of teaching and learning innovation at a community college, I support online teaching and manage the audio visual technology on campus.
Why, yes I have joined Mastodon.
