Following on from yesterday’s Twitter for Beginners tutorial, here are our five favourite tweeters for anyone interested in education and/ or parenting. 

Follow @BetterTuition on Twitter

1.  @educationgovuk
Official tweets from the Department for Education – get education updates from the pedagogical horse’s mouth.  Also enjoyable for Michael Gove’s incompetent comedy rants about teachers. 

2.  @bbceducation
The BBC’s education team are second to none.  Their tweets and articles are fabulous and always of interest.  I could spend all day reading http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/education/!

 3.  @letmelearn
Sue Kerrigan is the founder of Let Me Learn – simple successful strategies to help your dyslexic child learn.  She can pack a lot of expertise into 140 characters.

 4.  @LetChildrenPlay
If you agree that children flourish through play, Let Children Play will inspire you to find new ways to harness the fun.

 5.  @pencilsofpromis
Tweets from this non-profit organisation remind me how lucky we are in the UK.  Find out about their school-building projects in developing countries.
