Schools on Twitter
The virtual world of Twitter is throwing its spotlight on Warwickshire schools, with a new ‘feed’ to provide local parents, teachers and education experts with regular updates.
@wcc_schools, which can be viewed at http://www.twitter.com/wcc_schools , aims to bring a new world of instant information to its followers.
Everything from individual school news, to countywide initiatives and national education bulletins will be updated on the Twitter feed on a daily basis.
Cllr Heather Timms, Warwickshire County Council’s Portfolio Holder for Children, Young People and Families, said: “Twitter gives us a way to communicate quickly and effectively with individuals, directly to their phones, home or work computers.
“This is an additional channel to ensure we are keeping as many people as possible informed of school matters in the county.
“Hopefully we’ll see plenty of people deciding to follow us, and they will find the Twitter feed useful.”
