I attended an RHD intensive presentation today (an AMAZING presentation I should add!) by Melanie Hayman. Aside from participating in all the awesomeness of research proposal speed dating, I also wrote down and highlighted “Twitter/X has been replaced by LinkedIn for networking now + Instagram for younger target groups”.
Personally, I started my “teacher twitter” 11 years ago and had built quite a community of educators and academics over the years…including a number of my former MTeach students. I definitely agree X has decimated the platform though and I rarely use it now. In fact, at dinner the other night when a few other RHD students and I exchanged details it was all LinkedIn connections.
