Three principles for remote, online teaching I have considered over the past few weeks during the #coronavirus related school closures.
I’m sure there are lots of other considerations, but this is just some observations!

Just updated to the latest Mastodon version. Honestly I was expecting it to break horribly and I would declare my experiments in the fediverse pretty much over...worked fine! Official documentation on the site, as well as the release upgrade instructions on GitHub, made it a breeze!.....noice!
Teaching remotely during #Coronavirus is a challenge! However, in their rush to embrace the most convenient tools possible, many institutions are ignoring the #privacy of users...in this case children.
It’s great to see that solutions like BigBlueButton exist- free for all and open source! My students have found it great for remote lessons.
Open source is catching up in the ease-of-use arena, but is it ever going to be enough to convince administrators and teachers....
If anyone knows a super simple way of integrating #indieweb webventions in Hugo let me know…because I am all out of ideas!
The new features available in Nextcloud look amazing…the fact that you can have the power of this software for free and without being dictated to by corporate interests is mind blowing! It’s nice to have some technology news that’s actually positive for a change!
Will definitely be upgrading my instance…

ITWire interview with Frank about how #Nextcloud takes on #Office365 and #GSuite for #privacy #security #compliance #onpremises #yourdata https://www.itwire.com/cloud/thinking-big-nextcloud-chief-aims-to-overtake-office365-and-gsuite.html
It wouldn’t be the December holiday without a thousand blogs detailing their resolutions or to-do list for the next year! So here’s mine…
Integrating Collabora Online Server into your Nextcloud install is fiddly, but surprisingly achievable! It's not quite perfect yet...but it's a totally workable, privacy-respecting replacement for Google Drive on your own Nextcloud instance.
The process I went through to set up this Mastodon instance...

When the New York Times asked what individuals can do to take back control of their data, ProtonMail was one of the first responses. ProtonMail frees you from spying and the misuse of your data. https://nyti.ms/2pMrjEG
My skepticism regarding the indieWeb - https://cshire.xyz/posts/2019/indieweb/
Hello World!
I'm an international educator interested in tech, open source software and various other bits and bobs. I decided to host my own Mastodon instance...Can't wait to see where this leads!
