The Twitterverse is quite an amusing place. So many people posting about so many things (both mundane and useful).
I have to admit that I post some pretty mundane stuff as well but I have enjoyed the amount of useful educational information Twitter has given me. A lot of the trending hashtags and topics on my feed are education related and following them for even a few minutes a day gives me so many interesting things to read and to try in the future.
One of my favourite trends to follow are the various games based learning posts I see. So many teachers and educators are involved in this (a lot more than I would have imagined) and gives me encouragement to try to incorporate more games based learning in my classes.
Among the games I want to try and incorporate are Minecraft and Kerbal Space Program. I stumbled upon minecraftedu.com many months ago but today while browsing through the Digital Learning Day hashtags ran across kerbaledu.com. Two great games that have amazing applicability to learning. Now I just need to buy the games.
