Social quick pointers Twitter is a good social network to get started with Make sure it s clear who, what & where you are in you name & bio Use images where you can Make the most of your trainees, teachers and students! Try to reflect who you are, your mission & brand Where you re promoting an event or vacancies, try to include a link or a contact so that it will be obvious to anyone interested what to do next.
