Thanks @bthily.bsky.social and @wernedat.bsky.social for suggestions to add to my Bluesky for Teachers guide. It now includes the important detail that your posts are public (no private accounts). It also encourages CamelCase for hashtags. 👍 #EduSky learninginhand.com/bluesky

Absolutely love the idea of GREEN flags ... So often we focus on what we don't want/don't have versus the people who energize and support and make you a better human. We need more better humans in our world. So be someone who supports others; not competes with them! #ATchat #EduSky #CommunAT

The One Pagers in Book Creator are a game changer for quick tutorials or resources for educators to reference on the go! If you’re not already using @bookcreator.com, don’t wait! It’s by far one of my favorite and versatile tools in my tech toolkit! #EduSkyChat #EduSky #InstructionalTech #ATchat

One of the things I missed from the old site last month, #AugComm Awareness month, was the great A to Z of AAC that AAC user Beth Moulam used to post. I don’t think Beth has migrated here yet, but lucky for us #BskySpeechies #SLPeeps she put it all on her blog: www.bethmoulam.com/a-to-z-of-aac/
