Placing A Twitter Widget On Your School’s Website
In this week’s Facebook module we spend a lot of time talking about the various ways you can let your community know that your school is using social media.
Besides sending out newsletters, adding a note to your email signature, linking your various social networking sites and the other methods mentioned in the Facebook module… one of the quickest and easiest ways to let your community know you are using Twitter is to add a Twitter widget to your school’s website.
Adding a Twitter widget isn’t something that all schools will use. For some schools, the use of a Twitter widget will work wonderfully. For others, it will be best to leave off the website entirely. But I encourage you to play around with this tool, because it is a great way of introducing your community members to your school’s social media profile on Twitter.
Try it out and see what kind of results you get. If it works, great! If it doesn’t, then removing the widget from your website is a simple process that should take no more than 10 minutes.
To find out what a Twitter widget is, and how you can quickly and easily install this free web application into your school’s website, just watch the video below:
