@BrentGWarner well yes, what I mean is the good teachers are posting great videos on a regular basis and the Algorithm brings people together around them. (My definition of a good teacher is anyone who is researching/learning/teaching a topic in an engaging way, not necessarily someone working at a particular type of traditional institution).

Many of them have added patreon for financial support that gives you access to Discord chats or Substacks where communities form.

The learning dynamics of discussion around quality regular feeds from subject gurus are good. I just wish it was more #openedtech and less Silicon Valley. (Which is why I’m getting https://openedtech.global going)

> The important thing with #education is to get students building as much as they can in an authentic environment with peer exposure and feedback. Making things in public, creating stuff. Nothing changes your own brain better than when you put something out there into the world that you've created, and you're now exposed, and you're getting feedback from people.
