Ok, getting verified wasn't as hard as I thought it would be on Blogger/blogspot and Wordpress sites. HOWEVER, forget about it on Google Sites. I tried embedding the verification code from Mastodon to no avail (embedding was easy, having it work, no).

Anyone figure out how to verify a Google Sites website? @edutooters #Education #EdTech #mastodon

Need free curriculum for teaching that most necessary of subjects, geography? Then you are in luck. A solid knowledge of geography provides an understanding of politics and culture. It grants a sense of perspective to understand the map. In this blog entry, you’ll explore a brand new revamped website that offers free resources. #free #curriculum #education #edtech #TCEA #mguhlin #Geography #Maps

Why do high-effect size instructional strategies endure over time? They do so because they have a growing body of research that reveals their efficacy in accelerating student growth. When we use technology to make learning relevant to real life, we amplify the impact of strategies that work. When relevant, use it. When not, skip the tech.

For fellow #Education arrivals, @freemo (the amazing Qoto.org admin) shared a Domain Blocking List.

If you import this comma-separated values (CSV) file into your Mastodon account via the Preferences, that can help keep spammers and bad actors out of your timelines/feeds. I know some folks have complained about it.

Here's the Domains Blocked file in Google Sheets. You can go to File ->Download->CSV to get a copy of the domains blocked list.

Then, once you have it saved, import it via your Preferences -> Import->Domain Blocking List as shown in the screenshot.

“The largest and easiest gains in knowledge work come from redefining the task. They involve eliminating what need not be done,” says Peter Drucker. Didn’t get the results you want? Prune the unnecessary. Stop doing anything and everything that fails to move you towards those results. Are you a principal focused on achieving innovative learning? How you get there varies. https://blog.tcea.org/three-simple-steps-to-innovative-learning/ #Education #EdTech #Leadership #TCEA #EduTooter @edutooters

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?
