50+ Teachers Making a Difference on Twitter

Are you a Teacher?  Are you on Twitter?  We’ve handpicked 50 Teachers on Twitter who are making a BIG Impact!  Are you next?

Something quite unique is happening on Twitter each Tuesday night at 9pm called #TeacherFriends Chat. I am very honored to be one of the cohosts each week.  Tonight we are celebrating ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY of this special Tuesday night chat that’s created our very special community on Twitter. We are so thankful to all of our participants and guests this past year!

You’re invited to come join the fun!

Week by week over the past year we’ve invited educators who are making a difference in their classroom, speaking at conferences, creating products, writing books and sharing their knowledge and talents online.  One place they are making a big impact is on TWITTER.  The topics we’ve discussed cover quite a few things but one thing for sure is that each night we’re all learning from each other and sharing our ideas that work in the classroom.

Here’s where we store all of the chats for you to read at your convenience on Storify.  (Click here)

#TeacherFriends Twitter Chat Celebrates One Year!  

Tonight you’re invited to join us in our BIG Celebration and to enter for a Chance to WIN one of MANY Teacher Prizes for your classroom.  Here’s a list of all the #TeacherFriends Prizes on Debbie’s site Rainbows Within Reach. Many of the prizes are from this year’s EDU Celebrity Guests who will be dropping by during the chat tonight. 

My Cohosts  Debbie, Maggie and Kristen also have a few words about tonight’s special celebration. Click on their names to read the posts they wrote.

As we celebrate on year we want to thank our Expert Guests who are making a difference on Twitter.  A few of our guests are experienced veterans on twitter and then there were a few who took the leap of faith and used twitter and a tweet scheduler for the very first time.  Many have moved on to using it quite often to share their knowledge and interactions with others.

To join the Twitter fun make sure you’re following each of our moderators so you can see our tweets during the chat!
