I was chatting with Jenn Regier about using Twitter hashtags and I decided to search Google to see what was out there for educators. I came across this list on Edudemic – and as mentioned in the article there is no shortage of hashtags for educators! As well, there’s a useful live Google Doc available to the public created and shared by November Learning, and a searchable Educational Hashtag Index from Chiew Pang (@aClilToClimb).

Here is a small sampling of some Educational Twitter Hashtags:

#edchatIE | specially for Irish educators. See here. |
#edchatSA | chat for the South African education community. See here. |
#edreform | |
#edtech | technology for educational purposes |
#edtools | Why another? Obsolete. Use #edtech |
#edutech | obsolete. Why use an extra character? Use #edtech |
#education | better to use #edu, but it’s really too general. |
#edupunk | resources for DIY approach to technology in education |
#elearn | I’d suggest using this rather than the longer #elearning |

#elf | English as a lingua franca, but I’m afraid you’ll get lots of other non-related stuff |
#ell | English language learning |
#ellchat | English language learning chat platform. See here. |
