H = Hashtags #GETABC

H is for #Hashtags

(GTG's  #GETABC Series = Green, Education, & Tech*)

In the olden days, it was merely a number sign.  Now, in our Twitter-fied world, it's a hashtag.  And, true to old definitions, it is still linked with numbers.  Now though, the numbers are people who's ideas we share and want to follow.  Not to mention, it becomes a great thematic organizational tool for finding and sharing on Twitter.

If you're having a hankering for heightening your hashtag education about education (including environmental education), here are 4 heavy-weight, great finds:
