Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

Update: since publishing this post I’ve become aware of some tools that can help you find the people you follow on Twitter on Mastodon. You might be interested in reading about that process.
It is great to see many people in my network again testing the Mastodon waters in the wake of the news of the sale of Twitter. Discovering and developing a new network can be difficult and is often a big barrier to moving to a new platform so to help get you started, here is a list of people I am connected with on Mastodon who are interested in open education & education technology. I am trying to include people here who are active, or becoming active, on the platform and whom I know from Twitter.
Some of these accounts may be set to private and you may have to request to follow them.
Please add your own Mastodon handle in the comments and I’ll add you to this list.
Remember: Your Mastodon username is like your email address in that it needs the @your.instance when you try to follow someone from a different Mastodon instance/community/server (this is referred to as a remote follow on Mastodon since you are trying to follow someone on a different server). So when following these links you may be prompted to login to your own account before you can follow them if they are on a different server than you.

Thanks for including me Clint! Could you correct the spelling of my name? It’s Cangialosi. Thank you!
It’s not a Clint Lalonde blog post without at least one spelling error! I am sorry it was on your last name, Karen. Fixed.
Hi – grateful to be included- thnak you @compton
Done…and followed.
This is a list of Mastodon accounts of some people interested in open education. It is newly relevant in light of the ongoing exodus from Twitter (I don’t think I’ve ever seen my Mastodon feed so busy). If you’re looking for me I’m @Downes@mastodon.social. I’m more open and chatty on Mastodon than I ever was on Twitter (who wants to be chatty for the entire world?). If things continue the way they are I’ll probably set up an OLDaily feed so people can follow the newsletter there without having to wade through my commentaries on the weather, cats, bicycle trips and garter snakes. But I won’t be shutting down the OLDaily Twitter feed just yet, so there’s no need to panic. Let’s wait until something actually changes before we do that.
Please add me to your list, Clint.
Sorry forgot a handle – please use my Twitter handle: rolandvo

Hi Clint, thanks for making and sharing this list. I am an open educator who left academic but who still wants to find others who think tech, education, and learning should be open and free endeavors. My Mastodon presence is: https://mastodon.social/@tedcurran

Not really on Mastodon much, but pop in now and then
Thanks Sarah. Added.
Thanks for this Clint!
I wish that Mastodon’s list functionality was easier to use, but this method works well too. I won’t say anything about the irony of using the OG social network of the blogosphere to spread this useful information. ?
Ha, yes. The blog will never die. Long live the blog!
Thanks for this Clint!

Thanks for setting this up Clint! I’m new to Mastodon but will start cross posting at txtbks@mastodon.social.

Thanks Clint, great resource! If you want to add me please use this as my mastodon account:arin_basu@mastodon.nzoss.nz
Here’s my University of Canterbury webpage:https://researchprofile.canterbury.ac.nz/Researcher.aspx?researcherid=2821344
Please be aware that there are other parts of the fediverse for educators to explore
Yes it is a large and distributed space. This list is not intended to be the end, but merely to help new people orient themselves to a new virtual space. Where would you suggest they explore once they begin to feel comfortable?
Forget to add where those other parts may be found! 🙂
