"THE COMPLETE GUIDE TO TWITTER HASHTAGS FOR EDUCATION"

A wonderful collection of educational hashtags

Personally I would not use this as I like to see those who I follow's tweets even if they are live-tweeting an event. It is like being there with them. Of course this assumes that the people I follow live-tweet things I am interested in!

The "flipped classroom" was being discussed in social lounges, in conference sessions, on the exhibit floor, on the hashtag and even at dinner. People wanted to know what it was, what it wasn't, how it's done and why it works. Others wanted to sing its praises and often included a vignette about how it works in their classroom and how it transformed learning for their students. Still others railed that the model is nothing transformative at all and that it still emphasizes sage-on-the-stage direct instruction rather than student-centered learning. I engaged in a few of these discussions offline and online, and while I'm still on the fence about my feelings toward the model, I can offer some insight and interpretation."
