The greatest response I received across all posts and platforms was from an infographic that I made, following up on the Gratitude blog, as a poster or information sheet for students, summarising how to best practice gratitude every day. Having realised that followers tend to respond most strongly to visually appealing posts (and that this would also work most effectively with students) I ensured that my infographic was colourful, easy to read and visually attractive. In addition to a pleasing number of likes and re-shares, I received several teachers connecting directly in the comments sections by praising my online Positive Education efforts, asking me questions and even posting photos of my resource being used.

 

One of the Twitter comments directed me towards a gratitude podcast, which (as an amateur podcast listener at best) then also helped to steer my learning towards listening to podcasts, which in turn directed me to Ted Talks and other channels on YouTube, also a tool that I had not frequently engaged in.

​

Having noticed some comments on Twitter regarding Pinterest, I decided to also investigate using this platform and posted my infograph there. There has been no response or pinning, but this is a platform that I will be investigating making more efficient use of in the future.
