Everyone has people who they look up to.
Some of you may look up to your parents, siblings, grandparents, pro athletes, and even celebrities. In the education world teachers look up to other teachers, advisors, philosophers, and many more who interact within the education field.I have attached a document with some of the educators that myself and others look up to. They are teachers who use technology, games, questions and projects to help make learning fun. They have inspirational ideas and thoughts which they share on their blogs or twitter.
Feel free to read about them and maybe even explore their blogs and twitter pages. Who knows you may find someone who inspires you too.
