I discovered Alice Keeler of Fresno, California, through EdTech magazine’s “The 2015 Honor Roll: EdTech’s Must-Read K-12 IT Blogs.” She is the author of 50 Things You Can Do with Google Classroom,and a Google Certified Teacher. She is worth following on twitter because I would like to become more adept at Google apps and her recent tweets interested me.

I discovered Steven W. Anderson, of Winston-Salem, North Carolina, in a list of Top 100 Most Social K-12 Tech Leaders on Twittter 2015. He calls himself a learning evangelist, educator, speaker, and author. He is a former teacher and now works as a consultant to schools as to how to use social media in the classroom and the best use of technology. In his most recent tweets, I already found three that I felt compelled to check the links. I like that he presents a very positive attitude.
Anderson’s website is somewhat commercial. Anderson has authored three books: The Relevant Educator: How Connectedness Empowers Learning, The Tech-Savvy Administrator, and Content Curation: How To Avoid Information Overload.

I think I first learned about Richard Byrne long ago at an iteach workshop. I subscribe to his blog at http://www.freetech4teachers.com/and found he always has pertinent, helpful ideas for teachers.
He is a Google certified teacher, and has created additional web sites, ipadapps4school, and practicaledtech.com. Practicaledtech.com provides a variety of professional development webinars for teachers.

I stumbled onto some posts of Eric’s several years ago and have found him to be a frequent poster of topics of interest to educators. When I began following him, he was a highly regarded prinicipal of New Milford High School, New Jersey. I have found his tweets to connect me with helpful and interesting links. He was in included in Time magazine’s list of “The 140 Best Twitter Feeds of 2014.”
Sheninger’s most recent book is Digital Leadership: Changing Paradigms for Changing Times. His website includes links to his various social networks, blogs, awards.
You can watch his TED talk to get an idea of his philosophy. His digital citizenship pinterest board is one of note for our class.
