1. Eric Sheninger –
Eric is a principal in New Jersey and has very good credentials to be a highly
regarded one. The theme of his tweets revolved around issues that would be
considered critical thinking. I took the time to read a couple of the articles, and
absolutely loved them. My favorite one was from December 8th about 5 methods of
mobile learning content. A lot of his tweets are about articles that can either help
future teachers or existing teachers. The rest of the tweets contain articles that may
question certain aspects of education, in order to try and provide a better way of
teaching students. I found Eric to be very informative and I felt that I learned new
ways to use technology in the classroom. And on a side note, I also liked the fact that
he was a runner since I myself am one.
Kyle Pace –
Kyle is an Instructional Technology Specialist at Lee’s Summit, Missouri. Kyle
had more interaction than Eric did with his followers. He was engaged in helping
followers and accepting articles from his followers as well. His tweets were more
technology based instead of instruction based. It is much more likely to find tips and
support on applications on his profile than on Eric’s. That is not to say though that
he did not tweet any instruction tips, as those articles still existed. From Kyle I also
learned what coding is and how to teach it without computers. I liked what he had to
say and would recommend him to teachers looking for new technologies in the
classroom. It felt like he would be an excellent supporter of someone trying to break
into the technology world.

2. Steven W. Anderson –
Steven is an educator and speaker from Winston-Salem, North Carolina. At
one point in time he received the EduBlogs Twitter of the Year, and had several
other very solid credentials to his name. His tweets had an entirely different aspect
than Eric and Kyle’s tweets. Steven was more of an inspirational tweeter, providing
several quotes that would be very handy in the classroom to help motivate students.
A lot of the quotes used that applied to teachers, were in the critical thinking
manner. Their content revolved around how the classroom or the instruction is
setup versus how it should be setup. Steven did take the time to provide articles that
provided instruction tips and technology, but that was not his main focus. His main
theme was inspiration for the students and teachers to push through challenges to
look toward success.Honestly he was my favorite person to follow, as I found myself
uplifted after reading many of his quotes. I also found myself creating my own
opinions about topics due to some of the quotes that did not provide answers with
them.

3. Chris Wejr –
Chris is a K-6 principal from Agassiz. First I just want to say I enjoyed his
sports tweets, some of them were quite entertaining. Second I want to note that his
tweets came across as much more down to Earth than the other three, even though
they were interactive. The fact that he portrayed a very normal life, and put his
family as part of it, made him seem much more approachable than the others. I think
this was important because of the parent involvement that he stresses. The articles
that he presented revolved around education methods and how things sometimes
don’t work out in the classroom. I didn’t see any articles about actual parent
involvement, although I easily could have missed them, despite his stress for it. But I
do believe he made a stronger statement than any article could have by his own
actions. There were tons of pictures of him with his family and more specifically his
children. Even if a teacher finds an idea or value as crucial, if they don’t live by it
then it cannot be successful in the classroom. At least this was the feeling I got from
reading and looking at the pictures he posted.
