The Guide to Keeping Up with Google – Part 2: Twitter

Keeping Up with Google!

As you probably know, keeping up with Google is a challenge for anyone. That’s why I have put together The Guide to Keeping Up with Google! In Part 2 of this guide, I am going beyond the hashtags to share who I follow on Twitter for all things Google. Twitter is a fantastic resource for learning and is a mainstay of my PLN. Below are some of my favorite Google enthusiasts to follow on Twitter, as well as some of Google’s very own twitter accounts and Googlers, where they share the latest updates and tips. There are more than 50 Twitter accounts on this list! Follow these accounts on Twitter to find the latest Google Apps for Education resources, ideas for classroom application, tutorials, and more!

In case you didn’t know it, when someone is referred to as a “Googler,” it doesn’t mean they have mad search skills, it means they work for Google. The official Googlers have a lot to offer across social media! Here are some official Googlers, including the new CEO, product presidents and managers, members of the Google for Education Team, and more (in alpha order):
