Social Media for Teachers: The Late Show...

Teachers Talk Radio
About this episode

In this lively Teachers Talk Radio show, Tom Rogers is joined by teacher and writer Adam Boxer to explore the changing role of social media in the teaching profession. From the glory days of "EduTwitter" and infamous online debates to the decline in teacher engagement on X, they discuss how platforms like BlueSky, Threads, LinkedIn, and TikTok are filling the gap. Along the way, Adam shares advice for teachers building a positive online presence, and candid reflections on the benefits and pitfalls of engaging in public education discourse. The conversation also touches on issues of teacher voice, inclusivity, and how to amplify perspectives from schools working in challenging contexts—plus a humorous quiz revisiting some of the most memorable Twitter controversies in education.
