Jerry Blumengarten

Mr. Blumengarten mostly did self-promotional tweets about his sites. One page of his
inparticular was a project based learning site and I checked it out since we went over project
based learning in class. That site provided a list of links you could go to to help you with project
based learning. He made a lot of references to A1, A6, etc. that I really did not understand. I
feel that if maybe I knew some background information, his tweets would make more sense to
me. One thing he tweeted resonated with me. He tweeted, “A3 Don't forget to ask your
students how they want their learning space to look like. Involve them in the planning...
#stuvoice #satchatoc”. I have no idea what the hashtags mean or the A3, but most teachers
don’t think to ask students what they would like to see in a classroom. Maybe if students felt
that they had a say in something small like that, they would be more comfortable learning in
that space.
Tom Altepeter

Mr. Altepeter tweets quite regularly. He seems to mostly tweet links to educational
pages and sites that can help educators educate more efficiently. He also is fond of tweeting
quotes. At one point, he even gave an inadvertent shoutout to Marshall in a tweet about how
many Marshall students followed him. Out of all of the people I had to follow for this class, he
was my favorite. He is an active person on Twitter and tweets a lot of really inspirational quotes
to get educators and future educators thinking about the things they can do to be better
teachers. He tweets the most beneficial things out of all of the other people I had to follow.
Mr. Altepeter is very active on his account, so he is spreading more information around than
what I feel the others I follow are doing. He seems to know what he is talking about and is very
passionate about educating others about different ways to educate.
Kyle Pace
@kylepace
Mr. Pace often tweeted personal things. He tweeted about a Spiderman movie. I don’t
particularly enjoy following him. However, he tweeted a link about how to use YouTube in a

2. History class. I liked that he tweeted this link because it really related to the things we have
been learning in class. It was good to see that there are other educators out there encouraging
the same things that my professor is encouraging. He even tweeted a link to Twitter support for
educators, which I thought could really come in handy for teachers who want to use social
networks in the classroom but do not know how to do so. Mr. Pace also tweeted about tech
integration in the classroom and I found that page very helpful in explaining more ways to
incorporate technology into a classroom.
Alec Couros
@courosa
Mr. Couros used his Twitter account for both personal and professional, something I am
not too fond of. On his page, you can find pictures of his children along with educational things.
He sometimes tweets things that are a bit on the funnier side, such as recently when he
tweeted a link about rappers being categorized according to their vocabulary use. In a similar
fashion as the others, Mr. Couros tweeted a variety of links to different educational websites. I
found some of his tweets interesting, but feel as if he did not have as much to say as the
previously mention accounts.
George Couros
@gcouros
Mr. Couros tweets a lot to other accounts and that is what a lot of his tweets consist of.
One of his tweets I really liked. It was a link to a site about ten understandings about digital
citizenship. We discussed digital citizenship in class, so I really like learning more about it
through this Twitter account. A lot of his links, however, were more about leisure things rather
than educational things. An example of such would be a link about an eight year old vocal
prodigy. Though interesting enough, it was not something I found particularly helpful. Overall, I
enjoyed following this account.
