Did you know that there is a huge homeschooling community on Twitter? I love to connect, get ideas, chat etc. with other homeschooling moms on Twitter.
If you aren’t familiar with Twitter or hashtags it is simply a word or phrase preceded by a hash or pound sign (#) and used to identify messages on a specific topic. The pound sign (or hash) turns any word or group of words that directly follow it into a searchable link. This allows you to organize content and track discussion topics based on those keywords.
For example, if I am tweeting about a giveaway for homeschool moms, I would tweet this—”Enter to win my #homeschooling #giveaway…” Then when people are searching under the hashtag or label of #giveaway or #homeschooling, my giveaway will show up!! I have just entered my tweet into the homeschooling and giveaway discussion feed on Twitter. So it shows my tweet to more people than just my followers.
It is important to remember to be respectful with hashtags and don’t hashtag bomb. So make sure your hashtag relates to your message. For instance, if I am tweeting about homeschool I do not want to enter a hashtag like say….#breastfeeding, just because I think the people in the breastfeeding conversation may have a homeschooling mom in there, but really my tweet has nothing to do with breastfeeding. This is considered spam. So be careful and considerate.

How to Find and Engage with the Homeschool Community on Twitter
Using the right Twitter hashtags can transform your homeschooling experience by connecting you with a vast network of like-minded parents, educators, and resources. The homeschool community on Twitter is incredibly supportive, sharing everything from curriculum tips to encouragement on challenging days. With just a few clicks, you can join discussions, share ideas, and even discover free resources that you didn’t know existed!
To make the most of Twitter hashtags in your homeschool journey, follow these simple steps:
- Search for Relevant Hashtags
Start by typing any of the hashtags mentioned above into Twitter’s search bar. For example, enter#Homeschool
or#HSBloggers
to see trending tweets, shared resources, and discussions. This helps you discover new accounts to follow or participate in ongoing conversations. - Add Value with Your Tweets
When you tweet about your homeschooling adventures, curriculum ideas, or even struggles, include hashtags like#Homeschooling

to ensure your posts reach the right audience. The key is to be genuine and add value—share what works for you, ask questions, and celebrate small wins. - Engage Consistently
Engagement is a two-way street! Don’t just post; reply to others, retweet valuable content, and start conversations using your favorite hashtags. This builds a sense of community and keeps your profile active. - Create a Homeschool Twitter List
Use Twitter’s list feature to curate a personalized feed of homeschooling accounts and communities. Add educators, fellow homeschool moms, and resource providers you find under hashtags like#HipHomeSchool
or#iHSNet
. This makes it easier to stay updated and interact regularly. - Participate in Twitter Chats
Some homeschool communities host Twitter chats using hashtags like#HSBloggers
or#SimpleHomeschool
. These are scheduled discussions where you can meet other homeschoolers, exchange ideas, and even win prizes.
- Limit your hashtags to 2–3 per tweet to avoid looking spammy.
- Rotate your hashtags to reach different segments of the homeschool community.
- Monitor trending hashtags during events like back-to-school season or Homeschool Awareness Month to join larger conversations.
Twitter is more than just a platform—it’s a treasure trove of homeschool inspiration. So, start exploring those hashtags, and you might just find your next great idea or a new homeschool BFF!
