Alice Keeler
The second person I decided to follow is Alice Keeler. I clicked on her because in her bio it mentions how she works with google classroom and that is something I super interested in. I have heard about it before but I have never used it in a classroom setting. Alice Keeler has tons of tweets and links about google classroom. She even has a blog where she has an entire page dedicated to helping people learn about google classroom. I clicked on the line 10 things to start with in Google classroom and I felt like I hit the jack pot. This article is exactly what anyone needs if they want to learn how to start using google classroom. It gives you ten steps on how to create and use your own classroom with google. Alice has tons of great information on this resource and it makes me want to start using google classroom now.

Dave Burgess
The last person I decided to follow is Dave Burgess. He stood out to me because he has his own book called Teach like a Pirate. This book is the second resource I discovered and decided to learn about. I love the title of the book I think it gets readers attention and gets them thinking. It makes me think to myself how does a pirate teach and why is it a great way to teach? I clicked on a link that lead me to learn more about this book and it was just what I needed. From this book you’ll learn how to: Tap into and dramatically increase your passion as a teacher, Develop outrageously engaging lessons that draw students in like a magnet, Establish rapport and a sense of camaraderie in the classroom, and transform your class into a life-changing experience for your students.
