Fellow #EduTooter @edutooters Not sure if I shared this with you, but you may find it helpful if you're are still using the "stock" or "official" Mastodon app. This is a list of alternatives I have tried myself and enjoyed using. Share as you like, boost, or retoot/post.

Some have mentioned there are other great apps. I know about @ivory (iOS) @megalodon (Android) but if you're using something amazing on your device, please share back. This is a teaser image from an upcoming blog entry at #TCEA #TechNotes #blog https://blog.tcea.org but it's not out yet (written, done, scheduled but it won't come out until later this month).
