I used to post weekly collections of my best tweets, and used Storify to bring them together.
Unfortunately, Storify went under.
Fortunately, however, Wakelet was a new tool that was able to import all of a person’s Storifys. So you can see all those previous Twitter “Best” lists here.

I don’t want to risk putting all the work into those posts again and risk losing them all.
So, instead of creating weekly “Best” lists of tweets, I’m going to use Twitter analytics to determine my most popular ones and embed them directly here in posts. That way, the only way they’d go away would be if Twitter itself went out of business.
So, here are my most popular tweets from the past thirty days or so:
Interesting comment from one of my students today: "I like this class, but I get tired of having to work all the time. In this class, we have to do the lesson. In other classes, the teacher does the lesson."

I bought a new Toyota Corolla in 2006 that’s continuing to serve me well. I’m having a hard time getting my head around the fact that I just learned the average new car sells for nearly $50,000

I don't know what I'm doing, and have no idea if this will be helpful, but I have created an AI bot 2 help educators teach ELLs. On other hand, it may just be a useless gimmick 4 now (which is likely), with vague chance of future usefulness. Check it out: https://t.co/cBcHbacE2b

We teachers can’t make students have intrinsic motivation, but we can create the classroom conditions where that kind of motivation is more likely to develop and flourish (hat tip to the late educator Ken Robinson 4 phrasing idea) #motivationhandbook pic.twitter.com/ebGh92CQL7

This is good to hear, but it does make me wonder – again – how much guidance college instructors receive in basic pedagogy. How is it news that students will respond positively when they feel seen by their teacher? https://t.co/wu6WhSuCWh

I have learned a lot & continue to learn about teaching from a small number of ed consultants & college instructors who haven't been a K-12 classroom tchr 4 yrs.
I have learned far more consistently from people who r either active tchrs or who recently left.
