Social Media in Education

    Educational technology has become increasingly important in recent years as more and more classrooms integrate technology into their curricula. Educational technology personalities on social media are important because they help educators keep up with the latest trends. They offer advice and ideas on how to integrate technology effectively into the classroom and provide a community of support for educators seeking to learn and grow in this area. By following educational technology personalities on social media, educators can gain new ideas, stay up to date on the latest tools and trends, and find support in implementing technology in their classrooms. With that being said, here are three personalities that I recommend:
