Tag: 62 Connected Educators: Perfect Teacher Accounts

The feedback from teachers has been incredible to our top 10 twitter accounts for teachers. We would like to continue to provide great resources for teachers and educators, so we are creating a blog series of “Perfect Twitter Accounts for Educators.”
The only  requirement is that the account receive a perfect score of 100 / 100 from tweet grader.
For each account we have included the twitter name, the twitter profile, twitter followers, and the perfect twitter grade. We hope you find them helpful and would love your feedback.
Since all these accounts are 100% perfect. We have listed them in reverse alphabetical order. We will be adding additional accounts in the future as we come across them.
