Who do I follow?.......The question was asked.
I currently have a twitter account and other network accounts that I utilize for personal and social networking. It never occurred to me to use it for gathering and sharing useful educational information and resources. My Twitter account, I previously followed 39 blogs, (sad.....I know) now I follow over 139 and still adding more.
To answer the underlying question, whom do I follow?
On Twitter I follow:
Discovery Education
Education Week
Edu-News
Global Tesol
PBS
Scholastic
And many more…
On Google Reader I follow:
Elementary education
Educators Home
AAAS News
Hoagies’ Gifted
Internet TESL Journal
I chose to follow these blogs because they provide great educational information and resources for educators like myself. Most of these blogs/sites are from reputable organizations such as PBS and Discovery Education, and others are from veteran and new educators. As a newbie (having my own classroom) I will need all the resources I can obtain in order to have an effective lesson instruction and a successful classroom.
Your first comment reflects what I see in students as well. They can FB like no other but for some reason fail to realize how they can use networks for their own learning. I would also suggest following individuals as well as business/institutional accounts.
