1. Following Michael Zimmer (@MZimmer557) on Twitter:
!
Michael Zimmer is a curriculum coordinator at a Kentucky high school. He has also taught social
studies in the past. He describes himself as a “ tech enthusiast, weather enthusiast, volleyball
couch, avid golfer, and Cardinal fan. He tweets articles that would be helpful for teacher and
students. He gives information about new technology available that can be taken advantage of in
education, as well as how to use it. One of his useful technology resource links that he posted
was about new educational videos that a web cite created and releases. I chose to screenshot this
tweet, because I felt like it worked as a good example of the type of tweets Michael Zimmer
posts. His tweets include a little bit of everything from 3D molecule observation, to projects for
art. Taking advantage of links, he provides ideas for particular lesson, and ideas of how to use
technology in them. I can already see how helpful his links would be to an educator of any stage.
He would give new teachers and old teachers alike, new ideas and technology that they can use.
He also tweets links about how to use these new ideas. These links for technology and general
subjects vary as well. One tweet will be about science, while the next will be about writing
poetry.
