Dave Martin has an inspiring twitter account. He is a math teacher, and he offers help
tips to his students through tweets. Recently he has been interested in classroom diversity. He
has attended training in teaching English as a second language and has spent time in a refugee
camp. Student motivation is the cause he is most devoted to. He has constant tweets about every
student being an individual and that standardization in education is dangerous. I enjoyed
following this teacher’s tweets. He is good at offering questions with his tweets. This gives the
reader something to think about.
@GwynethJones
Gwyneth Jones has a really fun Twitter account. She likes to tweet about Dr. Who and
the educational applications of QR codes. Officially she is a Library Media Specialist. Like the
best professionals in education, she loves her job. Her tweets are full of ideas which are more for
libraries than classrooms. She suggests that the internet is the future of libraries, but champions
the ease and charm of print books. She says they are so much a part of our culture and so
essential to our communication that they are in no danger of becoming obsolete. This particular

Twitter account is interesting, but it is more an informal social platform than a resource for
educators.
@Dwight_Carter
Dwight Carter is a high school principle with an innovative approach to the job. He has
promoted the no-office day. On these days he never enters his office. Instead, he wanders the
school for research. He makes it clear that his tweets reflect his personal views which sometimes
have a religious flavor. In general, however, they are simply motivational. He is supportive of
his staff and the students at his school. He sometimes mentions his administrative duties, but
most of his tweets are advertisements for school functions or motivational mottos for his
students. For educators, this Twitter account gives a great view into the work of a school
principal.

@tomaltepeter
Tom Altepeter is a former elementary school principal and present middle school
assistant principal. His tweets are about social justice, conflict, and reform. This is a great blog
for when one needs food for thought. Tom posts Tweets that are not presented as facts, but
issues. These issues are the subject of potential debate. He is proud of his school and a
professed Christian. Many of his tweets are about the issue of closed mindedness. He often
comments that people need to be open and accepting. The tweets about social issues focus on
poverty, racism, and all injustice. Overall, this blog is fascinating, but not a great resource for
general education teachers to use in class.
@CI350class
The class twitter page is the best resource for teachers I have reviewed here. Because
class resources are posted, it has helped me as a student. Because those resources are applicable
to teachers teaching outside Marshall, the account is a resource for educators. The emphasis on
technology is important because it helps one to prepare for the future of educating and being
educated in the future.
