Who Do You Follow?

Finding individuals to follow can be challenging for educators the first time they decide to find out if there is something to this idea of professional development and PLNs in social media. It gets easier. An educator that we follow through his/her blog or Twitter feed mentions someone else… we follow that person… who provides a link to an article whose author we decide to follow… and so it goes. But, sometimes, we want to experiment… to step outside the box. That’s where lists of interesting educators—and non-educators—are helpful. Here are some current lists that are worth checking. What lists do you recommend to others?
