Inspiring, informative, useful, or just plain fun tweets about education and instructional technology articles, resources, etc.
(Originally posted on Twitter by @EmergingEdTech over this past week … collected here to share with our blog readers).
Take a nice mix of how-to's, tools, and techniques, add a powerful emotional video and a dash of humor … and “Viola!”, this week's Tweet Wrap. A theme we see repeated in this week's content is the end of the school year as it looms closer. Yes, the end of another academic year approaches … hang in there! Looking forward to CW's annual Graduation Ceremony later this month myself, to get a little wind beneath my wings and help keep me inspired!
