Top 10 Tweets & Blogs This Week

This week, an inspirational blog post inspired by a cellist who played on through the bombing of Sarajevo tops the list of blogs this week. Minecraft and Kid President have educators talking. On Twitter, success, teaching practices, and trying new things are topping the list. (You can add Google Drive to Microsoft Office.) You write this post! Your tweets, retweets, reshares and likes show what you care about. Let's see what you're saying to all of us this week.

How are the top 10 tweets and posts selected?ย I used the statistics of traffic on my blog for the blog posts. I used Buffer ย analytics to give us the top tweets. Tweet popularity calculates by retweets, favorites, AND clickthroughs. ย A clickthrough happens when someone clicks a tweet. Clickthroughs are something you can't see looking at someone's tweets. They can only come from analytics from the person who tweets the tweet.ย (And knows how to set it up or view it.)

I hope you find something helpful.
