Ecclesbury Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 Apologies if a similar thread has already been started, but my quick search came up with nothing. I've finally got on the twitter bandwagon (at the insistence of my Headteacher would you believe!) Does anyone have any good suggestions of people to follow from the education/data world? Equally if you want to share your username it would be good to follow some other data managers. I'm @JonnySBristol although I'm yet to twit my first tweet.
ajp233 Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 It can be a bit depressing sometimes following data people on Twitter.....you can come away feeling you are not doing enough in your own job
gazskeltz Posted March 24, 2016 Posted March 24, 2016 I've avoided jumping so far. Best tip from my Boss (He's a Deputy Head) is to have separate accounts for - in his case - Deputy Head, Teacher, Personal Regards Gary

Emm Posted March 24, 2016 Posted March 24, 2016 Forget to mention... not sure if you are aware of it but the Facebook Data Managers forum (related to SISRA but you don't have to be a user) is well worth joining, plus SSAT DM forum too (if you are a SSAT member).
Ecclesbury Posted March 26, 2016 Posted March 26, 2016 Thanks Emma, that's really helpful. I was briefly part of the SSAT forum, until my school pulled the plug without warning! I'll give the SISRA facebook forum a look.
Sods_Laur Posted April 11, 2016 Posted April 11, 2016 I second the facebook data managers forum , it's great. If you do exams too there is also an exam officers group. I have a twitter account for work only, I don't tweet but I do follow people. I've had to trim the list right down though as I find sometimes keeping up with everything takes too much time. A couple that Emm didn't mention that I enjoy - @edudatalab @miss_mcinerney
CAM Posted April 12, 2016 Author Posted April 12, 2016 I have an account but it's general purpose with a bit of education related stuff occasionally thrown in so not really ideal for browsing at work.
