Is it Wednesday? Friday? Monday?
Another day of remote working is upon us. ⏰
We have already seen so many wonderful examples of #InspiringSchools around the globe showcasing their digital classrooms and remote learning spaces. To help your school, our team of #DigitalJedi have united to bring you our TOP #Hashtags to follow and make use of while working from home. Your positivity and #SchoolStories are more important than ever!
But first, Why are Hashtags Important❓
Does your school make use of the mighty hashtag (#)? We wrote a blog on the power of the hashtag and are strong believers in this powerful symbol!
A #ContentStrategy without a #HashtagStrategy is doomed to fail. ☠️ While it’s great that your school are sharing out beautiful stories, without hashtags these are impossible to curate and categorise equalling NOISE. Not only do hashtags play a huge role in categorising content, but there are also mighty hashtags out there to include as part of your #HashtagStrategy. These can easily be scheduled in for at the start of the week, allowing you to sit back and watch the engagement roll in!
Check out our top hashtags below and join the conversation…
#XYZAtHome
Create your own hashtag using a simple naming convention such as #MySchoolAtHome. This will help you categorise all of your remote learning content and allow you to easily curate these stories and share as part of your #CommsStrategy. Here are some great school examples so far:
