As we scroll through our social media, we are inundated with messages, advice, and recommendations from "experts." We see posts where people show us how to everything, from cooking and parenting to dealing with daily teaching challenges. With so much coming at us, how do know who to look up to for solid, genuine ideas that will work for us in our classrooms? Here is a list of a few educators that I follow and I think you'll also find them to be inspiring, practical, and insightful.

I met Joe when I worked for the Blended Schools Network and did a series of trainings at the North Hills School District. At that time, and since, Joe has been a trendsetter when it comes to providing quality learning experiences for students in online, blended or face-to-face models.

I had the pleasure of working with Tom and other school leaders during my time as a part of the Blended School Network team. He has always been focused on the future of education and doing what is best for each and every learner.
