Welcome to another addition of Teaching with Technology’s favorite things! Today, I focus on my favorite Twitter hashtags and “tweeachers” to follow for ideas, inspiration, and professional development. It’s time to grow your PLN! Let’s get to it!
#hashtags … or as my mom calls them, pound signs 🙂
Just in case you’re unfamiliar with Twitter and hashtags … think of these as search tags on posts.
