This week’s collection of inspiring, informative, useful, or just plain fun tweets about education and instructional technology articles, resources, etc.
(Originally posted on Twitter by @EmergingEdTech over this past week … collected here to share with our blog readers).

A great keynote about Education, Technology, and Innovation; flipping Bloom’s and more flipped successes; better textbooks and 4,000 math lessons; exploring the moon and mars from your computer, tech tryouts and what we can learn from MOOCs … will the resources, tools, and inspiring ideas never stop coming!!?? Not if I have anything to say about.
