The Twitter Ten: November 8

Wow. I must have about 50 tweets saved from last week that seemed “10-worthy.” Whittling it down has been tough. A lot of these great tweets came from AuthorSpeak, the conference held in Indianapolis last week featuring 99 education authors speaking about education reform. Ah, to have been there. I mean, take a look at some of these great names:

Sorry, I drifted off there for a minute imagining @engaginged being on a list like that someday. Better get on with The 10–ten great resources & articles shared last week via twitter. Check it out:

Some common themes seem to emerge, mostly my apparent love of the number 10. It was the number I sported during my 3 year varsity baseball career at ol’ Central High School (.211 lifetime average). Coincidence? One can only postulate. See you next week!
