One educator that you need to be following on social media is Miguel Guhlin. He has huge involvement with the TCEA.
Director of Professional Development for TCEA.org, an education non-profit based in Texas that spans the globe. I serve as an edu/edtech blogger, online course developer/coordinator, and workshop facilitator.
From his Mastodon profile
I’ve followed and learned so much from him about social media and education.
Like many others, he’s picked up and moved to Mastodon.
It’s an interesting move and I haven’t gone completely; you’ll stilll find me in both the Twitter and Mastodon environments. I’ve spent so much time and effort developing the Twitter presence that it’s tough to let go.
Many of the cool kids have indeed moved over to Mastodon. Finding them is a bit more difficult that Twitter with its singular presence. Mastodon is everywhere.
For example, Miguel has decided to land at mastodon.education. You’ll find me at vivaldi.net. “Where” doesn’t really matter in a federated environment provided you connect with the right people. You just have to find them. We all went through that when we joined Twitter.
To make the process easier, Miguel has created a Google Sheet with many worthy people to connect.
He calls it “EduTooters Unite! – Mastodon #EduTooters and #K12Librarians Lists“.
Now, even a gentleman with Miguel’s skills can’t find us all. To that end, if you’re on Mastodon and are looking for an avenue for people to find you, you can add yourself here.
Back to the original sheet. You can export the document as a .CSV file locally and import them into your instance of Mastodon.
Since it’s a Google Sheets document, there’s an Export option to create your .CSV file. Once you’ve downloaded that, head to your Mastodon desktop Settings and then Import and Export. Import your file, merging the new records with your existing records and Voila! Your network just grew.
If you’ve got a Mastodon account and are still waiting for the magic to happen, this would be a great place to start.
