26 Effective Ways to Use Twitter For Teachers and Educators

Everyone these days seems to be using Twitter, from the President of the United States to your neighbor to your classmates from way back when.

For educators, Twitter can be a distraction or a gold mine of resources. You can send direct messages to other teachers or experts, join in on #edchat, which takes place Tuesdays from noon to 1 p.m. and from 8-9 p.m., or add plugins like Grammarly and check your writing or grammar.

The school management software company Fedena has put together a handy, helpful graphic that offers 26 effective ways to use Twitter for teachers and educators. The items are listed from A to Z. At least a few of these should prove helpful for teachers looking for inspiration, resources or just a sounding board.

You can view the graphic below and here and download it for free for your own use.
