I follow George Couros

Having personally seen him as a EDIT202 guest lecturer, his online presence is personified, which makes him more even more interesting to follow!

Regardless though,

his tweets and blog entries are rewardingly thoughtful and diverse.

I follow Jerry BlumengartenHis encyclopedic catalogues of technology resources was a go-to for starting a PLN.

His twitter activity is very consistent and informative.

I follow Steven AndersonThe depth of his online experience and insights is evident and suggested by his number of followers.

I followEd Yong

Best known for this blog

“Not Exactly Rocket Science”,

this British science writer

is incredible at making even the most seemingly technical science accessible.

As a future science teacher, I expect that his material will be sources of inspiration.
