I am a teacher, parent, and founder of My Town Tutors. I have been using twitter for several months, and have discovered how incredibly useful it can be for educators. Whether you are new to twitter or extremely experienced, here are five great twitter accounts for teachers and educators to follow.
For each account we have included the twitter name, the twitter profile, twitter followers, twitter grade, and a few comments from us. We hope you find them helpful and would love your feedback.

As an NEA member, I can tell you this publication is AWESOME! It provides so many great resources for teachers, updates on current issues, and inspirational stories of NEA members.

Vicki Davis is a great resource for teachers. Upon visiting her blog, her commitment to education is obvious when you encounter the following quote: "Teaching students with new tools, enthusiasm, and a belief that teaching is a noble calling."
