Did you know educators are one of the largest groups on Twitter- sharing information, ideas and best practices every day!? If you're on Twitter already, check out some of the hashtags below to start networking and exchanging ideas. #OHedchat (Ohio's educational chat) #edtech (educational technology) |
These are just a handful of educational hashtags that you follow and participate in discussions. For a comprehensive list of educational hashtags, click here. (*Hint: once you open the spreadsheet of hashtags, press CTRL+F and then search for a particular subject or grade level to see if there is a popular chat/hashtag used. ex: search for "foreign" to see if there is a foreign language hashtag or search "7" to see if there is a 7th grade hashtag).
As you start to find more people to follow and hashtags you find useful, you can quickly become overwhelmed trying to manage and filter through it all. Tweetdeck is an extremely helpful tool to set up and manage the most important stuff on Twitter. If you haven't seen it before, watch the short video tutorial below.
