Linda Braun (@lbraun2000) is a Youth Services Manager for the Seattle Public Library, an Ed Tech Consultant, educator, teen advocate, librarian, and YALSA Past Pres. Many of her tweets have focused on Connected Learning. Connected Learning is a type of learning that integrates personal interest, peer relationships, and achievement in academic, civic, or career-relevant areas. She recently attended the Presidents Program with YALSA and she had wonderful snipets, especially about fan fiction. Reading fan fiction can be super fun, and allows those characters that you love to move and evolve.
RT @libraria: #alaac14 Fan fiction makes great authors- yes! @yalsa #connectedlearning #presidentsprogram

Tony Vincent (@tonyvincent) is a huge proponent of using the iPad in the classroom and really giving students freedom to play, explore, and learn on their own with technology. He's even designed his own app! Stick Around is a creative app that students and teachers can use to label, design, and sort puzzles. Check out this awesome iPad infographic.
Ever heard of Plickers, Quick Key, Kahoot, Silent Light? These + more in this infographic for teachers: http://t.co/rHOSFFl1Et #slide2learn

Buffy Hamilton (@buffyjhamilton) is a librarian and teacher who loves Atlanta. Her tweets are often personal and localized, focusing on Atlanta. When she does have education tweets, they are usually links to articles like this Huffenglish blog post about professional development. It's quite funny, not really, how students don't ask for professional development before using a new piece of technology, but educators refuse to even open something new unless they've been through rigorous training.
Excellent and thoughtful post from @danamhuff I Don’t Get What’s Wrong with Asking for PD | http://t.co/aj1OGtwXtt http://t.co/HYT7WzcKoi

Jim Lerman (@jimlerman) is an educator who is focused on new schools with new learning. Jim, like @gwynethjones, has a scoop.it website. http://www.scoop.it/t/into-the-driver-s-seat
He focuses on higher education, secondary education, and educating educators. I found his tweet about social media and improving classroom writing quite interesting. It certainly got the wheels spinning about how I can twist this into the elementary classroom.

Kathy Schrock (@kathyschrock) is an educational technologist and all around ed tech guru. She tweets about new apps, new gadgets, and how to implement all things new and fun tech into the classroom. Her blog is worth checking out too. http://www.schrockguide.net/online-tools.html. I love that she has tweets that let me know when certain apps go free, or work great with another app that I already use.
