Wanted to do a #ShoutOut to @dougholton for his leadership and support in maintaining the #EduTooters list to get educators connected to each other. Thank you, Doug. #EduTooter #EduTooters @edutooters

A bit of reflection…

When I created the EduTooters Unite! (https://tinyurl.com/joinedutooters), my hope was to connect with more educators, and to set up a “lifeboat” for those trying to find their way on #Mastodon in the midst of crazy #TwitterMigration.

Doug wasn’t afraid to step up and help spread the word, both on Mastodon and Twitter. I’m’ also grateful to whomever suggested/originated the #EduTooter hashtag.

I should have paid more attention, but to be honest, I made the EduTooters group in a rush before running out the door to get breakfast with my wife. I would have paid more attention to calling the new group @edutooter than @edutooters which is the group that ended up with more people.

Oh well, live and learn. There’s still going to be a lot of folks coming over, and I hope all of us on #EduTooter and @edutooters can continue to help folx get connected.

I am now thinking of starting different groups that are focused on #EdTech #fREADdom #TxLibraries #GoogleEdu / #MicrosoftEDU, but that may be unnecessary. What do you think?
