Checking X for information about NC post-hurricane. You can find stuff but X is still mostly hot garbage. Unreal how bad it is compared to what it was 10 years ago. Embarrassed I suggested people use it.
Hoping for the best for everyone dealing with hurricane fallout. ♥️
So, this website is mostly trash now, but I still appreciate the people and insights behind many of these accounts and, of course, all of my wonderful educator peeps. Hope you have a rejuvenating break, and may 2024 be your best year yet!
@holden Searching a given topic becomes a pain too because there is inevitably loads of garbage tweets you have to scan past to get to something substantiative. And now you have to spend more time looking at tweets to judge a specific source.
@dobsonat We could all probably share more. Sometimes it just seems silly because if you're not a very popular account, there's not much interaction. That's what I miss about early days of Twitter: was more exchange between users than now, where it seems like an aggregator of pop accounts.
Since I just celebrated 15 yrs on Twitter, I have some ?s for my EDU peeps. How is Twitter important for you now? What types of things are you regularly posting? If you used to use T regularly for informal PD, how has the use changed? What about conference backchannel? Chats?
@coxtl Is that because A. already learned a lot/not a lot new. B. not much participation beyond selfies and platitudes C. We're doing it wrong/there are better ways now. D. generally negative online culture E. Other?
@coxtl Same. Got me thinking with current conf. Used to get loads of ideas from back channel, though more from tech conf's. Then it gradually shifted to selfies & promotion. Wondering if the people that were originally involved just quit or moved to something else? (I can't do tik-tok)
@Paul_Bowers Knew of the problems here, but didn't every really look at the map of that district. It's pretty absurd, especially the Richland and Berkeley areas.
