In this episode, we are dishing out some love. In honor of Valentine’s Day being yesterday, we wanted to spread some love to other teachers on social media who inspire us daily. We are bringing you our top ten list of people to follow on social media. Creating a Professional Learning Network is so important in today’s world and connecting with educators via social media can be a complete game changer in the classroom. We get inspired when we hop onto Twitter, Instagram, or Facebook and see people that we love following. We put our heads together and thought really hard about the people that we love following the most and today we are sharing that list with you. On our list we have a variety of accounts that you should be following and we guarantee that you will walk away from this episode wanting to follow some new people. Also, if you have people to add to our list then send them our way. We are always on the hunt for new people to add to our follow list and to our PLN. Reach us at toptennteaching.com.

Today’s episode comes to you from a distance. We are both recording in separate locations so that we can be protected from COVID-19 and we are talking all about distance learning. Like so many districts around the state of Tennessee and around the country, our local school district is closed until the end of the month, but we will be implementing distance learning. Today we are going to be talking about how to make the most of distance learning and how to make it work for you and your students. We hope you will find this episode useful as we all navigate uncharted waters in the weeks to come and that you leave today’s episode feeling a little less overwhelmed about what distance learning might look like.
