PLPeeps blasted the Twittersphere with a who’s who of top edcuation blogs and online thought leaders in education on April 29. PLP’s second twitter chat discussed, “With everything that’s out there, who are your “go-tos” – the thinkers you want to learn from, the people who live in your world who make you laugh while showing you new ideas, the ones who always give you something you can use the next day.”

Tweets went flying and while this list isn’t comprehensive, we’re sharing some of the links that flashed across Tweetdeck, Hootsuite, and Twitterfall as we monitored the #plpnetwork chat! Here are some of your favorite resources, a list created by the participation and collaboration of the PLP community.
