While there is so much good going on—[the ST Math Winter Waddle](https://2024.mindresearch.org/blog/play-the-st-math-winter-waddle-puzzle-challenge), several big edtech conferences, and the chance to reinvigorate students with math learning—there are also more hurdles than ever before. Obstacles that once seemed easily surmountable are feeling a little heavier this year. It's not just us. We're hearing stories of challenges (and triumphs!) from many.  Honestly, we have never been more impressed by our education partners' creativity, perseverance and resilience. We know that you can't pour from an empty cup though, and are hoping you are taking moments to rest and recharge when possible. We also know that it can be hard to feel and stay inspired right now. That's where we come in!  ![JiJi screen time playing st math](https://2024.mindresearch.org/hs-fs/hubfs/images/phys-jiji/JiJi%20screen%20time%20playing%20st%20math.png?width=1200&name=JiJi%20screen%20time%20playing%20st%20math.png) Social media can be an amazing tool for so many purposes. One of the simplest reasons I turn to it is to laugh, learn and feel motivated. In no particular order, here are some of my colleagues' and my favorite educational social media accounts. We rounded them all up in one place in case you were looking for a little inspiration. ## Twitter Educator Accounts to Follow #### **1.
