3.)Tony Vincent
| ||||
Wow! I thought I was great with graphics and Google Drawings…. Well…. Then I found Tony Vincent on Twitter! Daily, if not hourly, Tony is pushing out excellent #edtech content! Awesome guy to follow! What I love about Tony is the fact that he doesn’t just tweet his own stuff…. He’ll take time out of his day to retweet, share, and comment on other educator’s posts. Also, Tony is always willing to conduct professional development opportunities for educators both near and far!

I was starstruck when I finally had the opportunity to meet the amazing Matt Miller this past Spring at the annual Texas Google Summit put on by @techs4tex. Amazing author and blogger!

This guy is a genuine, down-to-earth, positive, awesome human being. Tons of respect to him for living life right.

5.) Brittni Branton

I’ve been following Brittni Branton for years on Twitter! From when she first came to Brenham ISD as an amazing middle school educator, to when she was absolutly innovative for our Elementary Libraries as the head librarian, to now, as one of the best Instructional Tech Specialists in the state of Texas. I’m so incredibly lucky to have the opportunity to work with her and Troy Kuhn every single day via the @BISDwiredTeam! Brittni is constantly looking for the next big thing for educators. Daily innovation, strong work ethic, and positive attitude are three things that I respect and admire about my friend, Brittni!

6.) Michael Ogg
| ||||
By far one of the best guys I know. Michael is the first educator that introduced me to the power of Twitter! Because of him and the many, MANY opportunities he’s given me, I am in the position I have today. Upon signing up for Twitter, he told me to follow three awesome individuals: Jessica Johnston, Ann DeBolt, and Kim Strauss. From there, my Twitterness began! Ogg has added so many great techniques and strategies to my teaching philosophy and pedagogy. Highly inspirational and extremely motivational… a must FOLLOW for educators! Proud to call you a friend.

Alice Keeler is literally “it” right now in education. Not only is she amazing with everything G-Suite, including being phenomenal with Google Classroom, but she is an excellent resource for instructional ideas, best practices, and much more! Whenever a newbie is just getting onto Twitter, and they ask me… “who should I follow first?”.... I always say, “Me!... oh, and of course, the amazing Alice Keeler!!” What’s also great about Alice is that you can ask her a question on Twitter, and she’ll almost immediatly get back to you with an answer…. Or find someone in her PLN that can. A must follow for any educator!
