Hashtags, Twitter, G+, Communities, Blogs and YouTube Channels You Should Follow! I often get asked, “How do you keep up with Google?” Well, first let me say that it’s almost impossible! However, social media is how I attempt to stay abreast of all things Google. So I decided to compile a list of people, blogs, communities, and YouTube channels that I follow. Below is a start... It is far from comprehensive, but below you will find links to great educators, official Google accounts and blogs, and much, much, more! I’m sure this list will get updated periodically, so stay tuned for more! |
Let's start with hashtags! Below are some of the most common, and the ones I find most useful in finding Google resources and other Google Apps enthusiasts.
#GAFE (Google Apps For Education)
#GoogleEdu (Google in Education)
#GAFESummit (Official hashtag for Google Summits)
#GoogleCT (Google Certified Teacher)
#GoogleET (Google Education Trainer)
#GoogleGlass
#GlassExplorers (Google Glass Users)
