10 Great EduTwitter voices to follow

Ever heard of EduTwitter? It’s one of the best resources online for tips, tricks, resources, advice and general help when it comes to EdTech. You can learn from the best in the business, and join a community of teachers who want to be there for each other on Twitter.

We took a look at some of the top names using #EduTwitter, #AppleEDU, #GSuiteforEducation and #GoogleEdu. These guys know what they’re talking about and are also a lot of fun to follow.

One of the biggest names in EduTwitter, Holly Clark is a must-follow. Clark isn’t just a Google certified educator, she wrote the book! She’s one of the co-authors on The Google Infused Classroom. Her timeline is full of tweets about learning sessions (online and in the real world), groups to join and online resources to help boost the way teachers use EdTech in the classroom.

@deputygrocott

J. Grocott is a fairly big name in education on Twitter. He tweets a lot about wellbeing in schools and started the massive movement of #FFBWednesday.

Grocott also likes to retweet useful articles and tips for teaching in the modern world.
