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).
This week our first two articles are particularly fascinating (IMHO): Why we need “Learning Engineers” – professionals who understand the research about learning and test it and apply it in order to help more students learn effectively; and an article and accompanying video sharing a fascinating virtual reality tool for the classroom. In addition we’ve got the usual slew of great articles offering instructional tech and teaching tips, insights, and resources!
