I am also a current user of twitter and I am following 3 people who are student teachers and use technology in class. They are Student Teacher(@Student Teach), Student Teacher Probs(@Studentteacherz) and technologyinclass(atechnologyincla). I followed these 3 people because to me they caught my attention out of the whole twitter universe. I found the student teachers by using the hashtag(#) @studentteachers. I read their bio and i really liked them. For technologyinclass, thats what I hashtagged and it was the only one there so i followed him.
