Educators are a powerful force on Twitter. The learning and sharing is outstanding. Here's a look back at 10 powerful tweets from 2015. These thought leaders always challenge and inspire.
1. Todd Whitaker flips boring professional development on its ear. When educators learn, it should also inspire more engagement and excitement about teaching and learning.
A minimum goal for professional development is that everyone needs to be more excited about teaching tomorrow than they were today. #satchat

2. An earlier image described what kids should do with technology, but how does that apply to leaders? It's not about the tools, but how the tools support enduring goals of connecting, leading, and learning.

3. Beth creates and shares many beautiful and inspiring images. We should always be reminded of the power of our words on students. We should always aim to encourage and lift up.
Every word we utter in front of kids has the ability to make or break their spirits. Never forget that. #edchat pic.twitter.com/q4yO71GOAy

10. Warning: Shameless plug alert. Yes, I included one of my Tweets in this list. I'm not sure the origin of this brilliant and widely-shared image, but it captured my imagination. Adaptable learning IS the skill of the future.
Those who are adaptable learners will own the future. #sunchat #edchat #futureready pic.twitter.com/qeLCY9hI11

Bonus: If you want to make some noise on Twitter, just tweet that school is closed. My daughter Emma would love to have that power.
Rockwood is closed tomorrow, Tuesday, February 17. No school. Please be safe and stay off the roads in the morning hours. Thank you.
