Great insights into how to use social media, plus example of the top teaching team @cityjournalism.
🧵🚨THREAD ALERT!🚨🧵. Last week, I shared a tweet poking fun at @marksandspencer's cheeseburger pasta salad. What I didn't expect was that it would result in write-ups on both local and national news websites. However, as it's been almost a week, I have a confession. 1/19.
