Most influential tweet / series of tweets / tweet based discussion

On behalf of the #teachertuesday series I thank everyone who nominated. An idea I had back in April which was backed up by my colleague and friend Kirsten Winkler. The idea was to nominate a teacher, school or anything connected to education using the hashtag #teachertuesday the nicest thing about it is it has brought a lot of teachers together from all over the world and helped share resources. By clicking www.teachertuesday.info you will access the web page of teachertuesday and be able to see all the tweets made by teachers/schools and bloggers via Twitter.

No not Athos, Porthos, and Aramis but Aniya, Kay and Kirsten making us The #teachertuesday team, you may have noticed the initials AKK on the teachertuesday Twitter page, so now you know what they stand for. From an idea of mine after the success of #followfriday I thought that it would be nice to congregate other teachers, educators and anyone else in the education sector, I mentioned this to both Kay and Kirsten who thought it was a great idea, they backed me up and Kay invented the blue owl logo and designed our website which collects all tweets from teachers, educators etc., allowing anyone to look up info regarding education and find it all in one place, we have had some great feedback from teachers and the idea is steadily growing. And so @teachertuesday was born a month ago now.

The idea of writing this post is to introduce my colleagues, Kay, the shy one, well he’s not really, but he’s that smart guy who gets on with his work and doesn’t like to be in the limelight, he’s a fantastic web designer and both Kirsten’s and my sites have his personal touch in them, I won’t say anymore about him in case he’s blushing . Kirsten on the other hand gets all the limelight lol, she possesses a lot of talent, from her teaching 3 languages to coaching too. Her newest venture is what looks to be a great investment for new and not so new online teachers E-Teacher’s Academy. The gates will open next week and you can also follow updates on Twitter, so don’t miss out! During the first month only subscription will be offered at a reduced price.

“All for one, and one for all!”

Last Tuesday marked the start of #teachertuesday on Twitter. What does this mean? The hash mark (#) before a word in a post allows you to tag that post for that word. However, in order to get tracked via a hash tag, you need to opt-in and follow.  Once you’re following hash tags, every time you make a post in Twitter and tag it with a hash mark like so: #teachertuesday it will then show up as a real-time post on www.hashtags.org. All teachers, bloggers, schools, companies  and anyone else interested in the education sector is invited to follow the blue owl at @teachertuesday. Every Tuesday you can use the #teachertuesday to make suggestions to your followers and the blue owl who they should follow. For example

#teachertuesday follow @TheEngTeacher she is a great teacher and @edufire it’s a great company

The blue owl will revise all tweets of #teachertuesday and then add interesting teachers, bloggers, schools and companies to www.teachertuesday.info which is therefore becoming an educational data bank, a great resource for all teachers etc.,

Here is what my colleague and dear friend Kirsten had to say:

The idea is to recommend interesting teachers, schools, organisations, applications or anything else about education to your friends and followers on Twitter, like on #followfriday.

See you on @teachertuesday
