Educators love to read books, solicit recommendations, and share their own favorites. Despite the holiday and start-of-school preparations, #EdTechChat tweets filled Monday night’s stream. Moderated by Susan Bearden, Sharon Plante, and Alex Podchaski, educators shared their favorite resources for educational philosophy, gaining tech competence, teaching methods, integrating technology into the classroom, and even tech fiction.
