75 education people you should follow


One of the most frequent conversations I have is people asking me who
they should follow on twitter. This is my attempt to answer. It is, of
course, a highly subjective list based on people I enjoy following. But
the people here represent a wide range of views / opinions. Follow this
lot and you'll get a feel for the debate; as well as a good stream of
useful links and some great blogs.
