5 favourite educators on Twitter, according to Twitter

If you don’t already get involved in #PrimaryRocks, where have you been? It is THE place to get some of the best recommendations, tips and support from fellow primary educators. Hosts of @PrimaryRocks will post a series of questions that have been suggested by eduTwitter (the education community on Twitter) between 8pm and 9pm on a Monday and the community never fail to provide inspiring stuff.

This week included the question, ‘ Who are your favourite educators on Twitter and why?’ so we thought we’d collate some of our favourite contributions to share with you.
