Whether you’re a science teacher or not, education and the STEM subjects is a hot topic these days. From discussions about comparing test scores in STEM subjects with students around the globe to tracking the number of STEM based jobs and future graduates, there’s certainly a lot to discuss. There’s a lot of information out there, especially on Twitter. I come across so many different things on a daily basis that I can’t possibly write about them all. So whether you’re just looking for classroom resources or if you’re looking for folks to connect with to broaden and strengthen your PLN, Twitter offers a wealth of opportunity and information to keep your brain busy.

To facilitate, we’ve put together a quick (read: not even close to being exhaustive) list of some great folks to follow on Twitter. You may be able to find resources even more relevant to you by searching Twitter for a keyword (ie, STEM) plus your location. But for now, start here!
