The table above, created by Mark Anderson in 2017, shows a selection of educational tweeters worth following. There have however been a number of changes at Twitter in recent years, including its rebranding as X in 2023. There was something of an exodus from Twitter/X in late 2022 and early 2023, notably to Mastodon, but it remains to be seen whether this or other platforms will eventually become more popular with educators (for further details, see the microblogging page).
The list below, updated in 2024, contains the names of technological and educational innovators, researchers and commentators worth following, along with an indication of whether they remain on Twitter/X, or have switched to Mastodon or other platforms such as Bluesky or Threads, or in some cases have a presence on more than one platform.
