In case you don't follow @NETC_Travel on Twitter (which you really should, by the way), or haven't checked out our feed this week, we've recapped the top tweets in Education & Travel for you below:

1. Unfortunately flights do get delayed now and again, and although it is frustrating to arrive at your destination behind schedule, there are ways to take advantage of the downtime. Deal with the delays in a productive way – perhaps strike up a convo with a fellow traveler and practice your language skills while you’re abroad? Here are some other great ideas to help you kill some time at the airport:  http://ow.ly/5zP44

2. Have you ever thought about texting your students a pop quiz? Sounds like a crazy idea, but as you are well aware technology, and especially cell phones, is a huge part of students’ lives. So why not integrate technology into your curriculum? Watch this thought-provoking YouTube video for ideas on how and why you should use technology to engage your students: http://ow.ly/5zQ6J

3. Although the Fourth of July was this past Monday, you can certainly start thinking about your travel plans for next year! Did you spend your holiday in any of these top 10 destinations? http://ow.ly/5zQEO

4. We always say that engaging students is uber important in education. This teacher gets it and is revamping her classroom to build a constructivist environment for her students. Her ideas are interesting and we thought we’d share them with you. Here are her “Confessions of a Closet Constructivist: http://ow.ly/5zRtW
