Abstract
Social media platforms host various self-directed educator professional activities. There are signs of substantial educator use of the discussion forum website Reddit, which offers affordances around anonymity. However, educators' Reddit use has received limited attention from researchers. To address this literature gap, we collected 42 months of activity in two subreddits: r/education and r/Teachers. Qualitative analysis of 1600 purposefully sampled contributions suggested that the subreddits were distinct, with r/Teachers functioning as a virtual teachers' lounge and r/education primarily hosting education policy discussion. Spaces that feature moderated anonymity may offer supportive opportunities for educators’ professional learning.
