Here’s our massive (but still probably incomplete) listing of top education-related Twitter users in LA — including official and unofficial representatives from the district, the union, Board members, teacher activists, mainstream media, and bloggers.

See yourself listed?  Be sure to tweet about it.  Not on the list, or know someone who should be?  Tweet about it.

This is just a first approximation of the final list; we’ll probably do a follow-up version or another post that focuses on other social media sites (Facebook, etc.)
