Academic Aesthetic S2 Ep 11: Beans, Trolls, and #MDEduTech




Academic Aesthetic show

Summary: Today’s episode is about social interactions, for good or for ill. Show Notes: EdBean Podcast 3 teachers discussing a variety of teaching strategies. Conversation is frequently NOT about the tech, but about best practices. Most recent episode from last month. Assumption is the padcast is still active. “Don’t feed the trolls,” but what if they feed themselves? (NSFW due to language.) Written by Kathy Sierra, reposted on Wired.com with permission. Some people (mostly women) reach a status of recognition amongst trolls where they have no recourse. Abandon social media, trolls win. Ignore them, their antics escalate until they cannot be ignored. Fight back, they escalate. See above. #MDEduTech chat sessions Start 10/20/2014 Every Monday @ 7PM EST Target audience is Maryland teachers with an interest in technology, but we won’t chase you away. First topic will be Digital Citizenship
