@ninetonoon Hundreds, possibly thousands, of NZers have moved off Twitter to Mastodon (part of the decentralised, non-corporate, non-profit community-run social media Fediverse I mentioned). Things are hopping. @radionz needs to be there, not just a bot.

Come join the amazing ⁦@deakinlibrary⁩ team as the new Open Education and Digital Practice Lead - applications due 10 November. #OER #OEP #HigherEdJobs

@timbocop Because the public sector never built a public digital infrastructure to deliver continuously improving educational opportunities to our citizens - as it did 150 years ago with public brick and mortar schools. Our government abdicated its responsibilities to our citizens. #oer

Ah well, I guess I need to hit "publish" sometime. "A trailing-edge technologies share-a-thon", in which I try to face down the monsters of ed tech with nothing but faith and the glory of an open platform to protect me: https://t.co/s59zuVjeuK

"an open, online institution such as mine might be open to modelling what sustainable and responsible digital education could look like because I fear that our very future might depend on it, in all senses of that phrase." Ya feeling that, @TRUOpenLearning?

Weary, old, a little broken, but not letting go of the dream: edtech in the 21st Century
