Jen Polack, our incredible alumni, advises teachers about teaching social media - make sure your students have an audience in mind and understand the constraints associated with that audience. #engl407socialmedia @UVicEnglish

[UVicProComm @UVicPW]

MAJOR advice from Jan @animikii - video will do better than graphics and graphics will do better than text. All kinds of content is what's needed (Jen had @smhumphreys taking pics, she's recording a podcast, and will post)

[UVicProComm @UVicPW]

More advice from Jen Polack - use @buffer to launch (from a social media calendar) and then....wait...and maybe fail. it's okay! It happens, just try again based on your analytics.

Our talented (and funny) alumni Jen Polack from @animikii is explaining how to run a successful social media campaign. We are on step three: Get creative and tell the truth! Good advice!
