A follow up to yesterday’s post, where I figured out how to extract the source from a list of tweets.
I asked a few folk on twitter if they had lists of schools twitter accounts by LA in twitter list. Andrew Bailey gave me an Angus one and Malcolm Wilson pointed me to William Jenkins who has a pile of lists. I quickly grabbed 18 LAs alone with Andrews to make 20 to run through my script.
The results are above.
I am interest in the result only tangentially. Partially is my idea of fun to figure out how to write the script. Mainly I am interested in thinking about encouraging folk to use Glow Blogs as a primary place they post school and class news as opposed to twitter. I’ve been told a few times that teachers use twitter because it is easier. I want to explain how blogging can be a lot easier. This indicates that mobile devices are the way to go.
Tried to get educators to adopt @Declara in 2015/16 and @Giveandtakeinc since last Christmas.
…In my experience It’s a challenge moving edu folks to other platforms.
I don’t want to move educators. I’d like to spread the understanding that platforms that you pay for with your attention, and then that attention is manipulated, may not be the best place to direct our pupils data and attention. A start along that path… johnjohnston.info/blog/re-in-my-…
In that case Jaron Lanier’s ‘Ten Arguements for Deleting your Social Media Accounts Right Now’ and @TheGreatHackDoc are fantastic resources!
