It is not chemistry-specific but there are some fantastic ideas generated within these posts. #180blog: This hashtag is used by teachers that create a blog post for each day of the school year. ![]() #scichat: A chat for all things science-related. Many of the teachers involved share images of student-created whiteboard diagrams, inspiring ideas for my own class whiteboarding. #modchem: This is a hashtag to follow if you are interested in following the modeling chemistry movement. Suffice it to say you will find all manner of discussion here about teaching chemistry. ![]() I have too many names to mention here without forgetting somebody. I'm asleep in Eastern Europe for these chats but I always go back through them to get ideas and respond to ideas that are put forth.

I also incorporate some ideas from the modeling chemistry movement to help my students understand chemistry at the particle level. Since my early days as a teacher, I have utilized technology throughout my instruction. I currently teach IBDP Chemistry at the American International School of Bucharest. The reason I'm here is that Deanna found me through following one of the chemistry-related Twitter chats and invited me to join ChemEd X as a contributor. Do you see the new TweetDeck design on your account? Let us know down in the comments.By way of introducing myself, I'd like to respond to Deanna Cullen's blog post about social media here on ChemEd X with some ideas of my own.
