It takes me way too much time to teach students how to share a url from their @wordpress blog and to a specific @wordpress post. Need a little UI love me thinks as the failure rate on first time share is well above 50%.

I wonder if this is a WordPress problem or a problem with URLs in general? The way modern browsers hide information may not help?

I think I am going to change my feed syndicating to @microdotblog to be a category. That way I can then control when I am cross-posting and can separate Twitter and Mastodon conversations.

FWIW that is what I do here. This re will not end up on micro.blog or Twitter I’ve not hooked up mastodon, where I saw your post, yet.

The linked post: Teachers Are Moonlighting As Instagram Influencers To Make Ends Meet and the thread on @audreywatters’s tweet are fascinating.

 

I think of instagram as a nice silo for sharing and liking photos in a casual way (I like being liked too). It went bad when it removed the ‘time’ from the timeline. (I don’t like its lack of interoperability much either).

I don’t think I follow any influencers so this is a world outside my ken.

The idea of using instagram as a way of showing a shiny classroom has some of the same problems at tweeting to my mind. Not that my blogging is a great example of sharing classroom practise.

I am not sure about the Teachers Pay Teachers, concept. I feel a slight distaste, but am not sure why.

“Why has your reply copied the tweet @johnjohnston ? ”

I am using my blog to tweet/reply/like (sometimes) with #indieweb plugins & don’t always get it right;-) see status page blog for examples & https://indieweb.org for the principle.

“@athole Thats fantastic! I was a bookworm kid, so was hubby. However dont despair fellow parents if your child struggles with reading like mine and school is v.competitive. Learning to read is very varied right up to 11yrs! He loves books though and we read to him every day. Books❤️”
