1. Kyle Pace is an instructional technology specialist. He’s also a Google Certified teacher (whatever that
means). This account tweets an abundance of links to different things dealing with education. He
tweets about classroom techniques such as using YouTube and he tweets about random conferences
that are happening. This tweet from April 29 appealed most to me because it shows Pace’s personal
admiration and emphasis on Twitter’s role in education. Though he doesn’t appear to use Twitter as
part of classroom curriculum, Pace uses the network to relay various articles and information from
education conferences.
Jerry Blumengarten is an educator and speaker who presents himself as one who is trying to make the
Internet appealing for educators, parents and students. He answers a lot of questions sent in by fellow
Twitter users. Once again, Blumengarten doesn’t use Twitter as a teacher to interact with students, but
as a professional educator set on helping other educators. This tweet appealed to me because of the
implication of character education. In my two years of studying secondary education, I have found that
teaching students true civic and moral values is of high importance.
Eric Scheninger is the principal of a New Jersey high school. He, like Pace, is also considered a Google
Certified Teacher and is a National Digital Principal Award winner. Scheninger answers a lot of questions

2. from people on Twitter, but none that I saw appeared to be students or parents of students at his
school. He uses Twitter to relay technical information and conference links. For Scheninger, I would
expect a principal on Twitter to use it the network for more than the regurgitation of links to various
other sites. I thought he’d use it to interact with his community and present stuff about his school
(upcoming events, statements, etc.), but he sticks with quotes like the one above and other blogs.
Chris Wejr is an elementary school principal. He describes himself as passionate about parent
engagement and motivation. Wejr utilized Twitter best of the two principals and probably of all four
men I observed. He tweeted area newsletters and other education information strictly pertaining to his
area. He would tweet links to educational blogs and correspond with other educators on Twitter.
Wejr’s quote above stood out to me most because he is drawing a difference between education’s
purposes. Perhaps he would elaborate to say school is for educating and jobs are for earning a living.
