eduWOTD is a tiny guerilla education project I started. It’s simply a twitter account on which I post a vaguely education-related Word of the Day every weekday, usually with a link to a longer article. I love stumbling on new words, especially ones which have been coined to contain complex intersections of ideas in the areas of cognition, consciousness, epistemology and learning. If you want a daily dose of interesting tangents on learning, subscribe to the eduWOTD account.
