35 Ohio Educators to Follow on Twitter

Teachers know so much. And they’re really, really good at explaining things. That’s why you should follow them on Twitter.

Over time, I’ve been putting together a list of Ohio educators and education people to follow on Twitter. Here are 35 of the educators I’ve found particularly interesting.

But I know I’m missing people. So, please, help me out here.

Leave a comment, email me or tweet me: What other Ohio educators should I be following? (Yes, you can suggest yourself. In fact, please do.) 

Note: You can follow all these people (and many other Ohio educators) with one click. Click here to follow the Ohio educators Twitter list. That list includes people who work in schools: teachers, principals, curriculum and technology directors, superintendents and so on.

What about people and organizations who work on Ohio education issues but aren’t necessarily educators themselves? There’s a list for that too. Click here to follow our Ohio education people/groups list. 

Also, the categories in this list below are my best attempt at grouping. If I got your role wrong, let me know and I’ll correct it.
