__ LIPS – Leading in Public Schools

The  New Institute Forum held on 13th October proved to be a great success with a good crowd enjoying the presentations from advertisers around the issue of just how might we ‘brand’ Newcastle.

During and following the forum, the Newcastle ‘tweeps’, (users of Twitter as a social networking medium), took up the challenge to contribute to just how might we brand Newcastle. 

Hundreds of ‘tweets’ later, and the power of social media was demonstrated, leading to coverage on local radio and an ongoing sense of fun and enjoyment at being able to contribute.

Imagine using Twitter to gain feedback around a particular topic or activity within a school community? Maybe a way of generating interest in an upcoming activity, or getting ideas about a particular topic.  It’s fast, and anytime, anywhere.
