10+ Twitter Educational Hashtags I Recommend to Student Curators

JD has just started sharing apps and links that she thinks our teachers and her fellow students could use for their work. She created a Twitter account and a blog (JD's Picks) to share her finds.

Yes, she does this for fun!

JD asked me what I think are the best hashtags to include in her tweets to (1) categorize her tweets and to (2) share her tweets beyond our school community.

These are the hashtags I recommend to JD, and to any other student curator interested in utilizing Twitter to its fullest.

1. #edchat - wildly popular hashtag that covers just about everything educational

2. #edtech - anything to do with using technology in the classroom

The disciplines:

3. #scichat
4. #mathchat
5. #engchat
6. #sschat - history and social science teachers and students
7. #artsed
8. #languages

9. #elearning - anything to do with online education

10. #mlearning - the use of mobile devices in the classroom

Additionally, I'm recommending these two hashtags specifically for JD:

11. #ipaded - use of the iPad in the classroom (she has an iPad2 which she uses for most of her school work)

12. #DoGood - for self-improvement and to help others (a topic in which JD has expressed interest)

Other student curators will discover their own special interest hashtags, as they explore the riches of Twitter.
