@Miraz what a lovely set of links. Especially the bushcraft kid. While I’ve not seen anything as dramatic, I see a lot of good in outdoor learning in mainstream (taking my class to the woods for a morning). Gives kids a bit of space both physically and mentally.

Replied of a post about twitter on linkedin
Replied to Replied to Behind a login on LinkedIn
For the last several years it has increasingly worried me that schools (governments & others institutions) used Twitter as their main publishing system. A system not designed for users but for advertisers and owners and more evidently recently their owner’s unsavoury ideas. We seem in some instances to be encouraging pupils to look at services they are legally too young for.
My use of Twitter dwindled and as far as possible I used it as a distribution system for content I own. I now hardly bother with that.
The decline of Instagram from a timeline based service to an advert filled algorithmic stream doesn’t fill me with confidence for threads. Similarly LinkedIn and other silos.
What all these systems bring is ease of use and this bring piles of pals. The onboarding to threads was almost invisible.
Unfortunately the ethically cleaner alternatives like mastodon or a combination of RSS & blogs have more friction. So far they have not had the huge influx of users that allows folk to build up a pile of pals. It would be useful, I think for someone to start an instance on mastodon for say Scot’s educators and then do some propaganda to get folk from twitter to move over.
I also really rate the micro.blog approach, which could be used as a model for educators.
I’ve PESOSed this post here.

The Biggies had a bit of fun thinking about what that would do if they were good or bad rulers. Making graphics with layers, transparency, copyright free images, clip art an their own photos.

Hi Nick, When I read this I was going to let you know that OneDrive had been rock solid for a while for me. I use a mac in school and at home. I didn’t get to write the comment.
On Monday arriving in school I opened my daily plans, a set of txt files in OneDrive, to find that they had not synced from Sunday at home. No plans 😖
Hi Doug,
looks like a great project, I’ve subscribed to the feed. Great set of links in this intro too, thanks.
Well that cleared my head, and hour in conversation with @jimgroom on #ds106radio fair cheered me up
