Looks like my #introduction post was deleted so let's repost.

I have spent my career in education, now working at the intersection of #education, #edtech, and #IT - as an administrator and also teach in an instructional technology program. My professional interests focus around #edtech policy, #oer, #accessibility, and #opensource and #cybersecurity in K-12.

Outside of work, I'm a huge nerd and a trekkie, and my husband and I are adopting two toddlers thorough #fostercare.

Happy Hanukkah!

Here's a new #introduction from my from the new mapstodon.space instance:

I'm Josh Carlson. I'm a GIS Developer for Kendall County, Illinois, USA, where I manage our GIS portal and keep the tax maps up to date, among many other things.

We're an #esri org, but I like to push #QGIS, #PostGIS, and #OpenStreetMap whenever possible.

Outside of work, I map, knit, forage, fiddle with Python, read, cook, and cycle. I try my best to keep up with my wife and three young sons.

I only wear socks I knit.

One of the more annoying bits with Mastodon is the whole “log in to follow someone when you’re viewing them on a different server than yours” workflow.

This magical Chrome extension basically fixes it!

It is remarkable -- remarkably depressing -- how slow news media organizations are on taking up Mastodon, especially after Musk's attacks on reporters this week. Get with it, people!
