It was also two years ago when #CE14 began its journey of reaching 14 million educators. As this movement of digitally engaged educators grows, nurturing our narratives will continue to be important as we learn together.

Also for #CE14, in the spirit of ASCD’s theme of Educator Professional Development & Learning we are hosting three Twitter chats, focusing on skills, knowledge and resources necessary for connected educators.

Weekly Twitter Chat Times. Top Twitter Hashtags for Teachers. Hashtags are a great way of searching for tweets in a specific category from the whole of the Twitterverse – search for #ukedchat and you will come up with a huge stream of tweets which have been tagged as interesting to anyone wanting to read about UK education. As well as searching for tagged tweets, you can tag your own tweet to make sure you are talking to an interested audience that extends beyond your followers. You can tag absolutely any word on Twitter so it can sometimes be difficult to sort the wheat from the chaff. I have read dozens of lists of ‘useful’ hashtags where many of the tags have never been used more than a handful of times. Not useful in my book. By talking to my followers and noting which hashtags are most often used by the tweeters I follow I have compiled a list of hashtags which I think will all be of interest to UK Teachers though many extend far beyond the UK.
