Twitter for Education: How to Put Twitter in your Website

 I know it sounds cliche to say creating a Twitter feed on your blog is "cool" but once you have been blogging for sometime learning about the functionality and features you can create on your blog makes you want to take your blog to the next level.  

Twitter feeds are a collection of links to articles you share on the twitter site.  This can include your articles or other news and events that you have "retweeted" to share with your "followers".   

For those who are unfamiliar with Twitter once you create an account you can follow other people to see what they are posting about in your timeline.  You can also use the #hashtag symbol to post or find posts related to a topic.  Here are the top twenty hashtags in education 

  1. #BlendedLearning
  2. #CCChat (Common Core Chat)
  3. #CCSS (Common Core State Standards)
  4. #CommonCore
  5. #CompetencyEd
  6. #Curriculum
