20. THE A-Z DICTIONARY OF EDUCATIONAL
TWITTER HASHTAGS: THE MOST POPULAR
HASHTAGS

wide range of educators worldwide.
• #schools – Massively wide ranging but used far less than #edchat or #ukedchat
• #teaching – This hashtag seems to largely be used for jobseeking, FYI
• #lrnchat – Learning chat
• #TT – Teacher Tuesday where educators suggest others to follow
• #kinderchat – hashtag for discussing kindergarten aged children
• #EdChatIE – The educational hashtag for Ireland for all three levels

exposed to.

to use Twitter is 13.
• Scams and misleading news and unauthentic information.
• Culturally inappropriate material
• Hard to monitor.

use-twitter-classroom
Any school or classroom can begin using Twitter as an important part of the learning process. To help the beginners out, we’ve developed a list of educational hashtags that can be used by teachers and students who are looking to connect beyond the classroom. Our recommendation is to print this list and hang it in the classroom near a classroom computer. With a classroom account (under a teacher’s login and password), anyone in the class can tweet out questions requesting resources or sharing the learning that is taking place in that class. The appropriate hashtags should accompany each message. These messages might look like this:
