#ConnectingFurther - Fall Social Media Campaign

 Who is ready for a blast? A social media blast, that is, so we can connect further on Twitter and Instagram and elevate and amplify our respective expertise. Whether you are an occasional Tweeter or a full on Instagrammer, our fall #ConnectingFurther campaign is a way to lift up your work and that of your fellow Fellows.

How does #ConnectingFurther work?

Step 1: complete your #ConnectingFurther profile. This information is similar to what you would provide on a conference registration for a name tag.

  • Name
  • Nat Geo connection type and dates
  • Location
  • Teaching Assignment
  • Pronouns
  • Ask me about: (Four to five topics to show your expertise and jumpstart conversations and connections).
  • Social media platforms and handles.
  • Link to photo of you. 

Step 2: Starting October 18, follow the hashtag #ConnectingFurther on Instagram and Twitter. #ConnectingFurther posts will feature the profiles of GTF, Education Fellows and Education grantees. Give those posts some love! Like, retweet and most of all follow each other to stay connected.

This is a sample #ConnectingFurther post.
