Follower Analysis:
I’m just pushing short of 80,000 followers on Twitter!
.
My tweets have generated 6.8M impressions over the past 28 day period. During this 28 day period, that’s 241.5K impressions per day. I respond to approximately 51 tweets per day, generating 1,400 replies to followers over the past 28 days!
On average I have responded to about 18,615 tweets during 2014! As you can imagine, that’s a huge amount of time and effort.
You can see from my Twitter analysis (and not my blog), that 63% of my followers are female. You can also see that The TES continue to dominate the teacher-circles, with 48% of my followers choosing to follow the TES before the DfE, The Guardian, Ofsted and the BBC. Perhaps this is because The TES continue to offer a useful service to the profession e.g. resources.
Of those that follow me, 12% are located in London, UK. 72.2% of my followers are based in the UK. This equates to about 51,000 Twitter accounts. I am slowly breaking into the United States, with 5,200 followers.

The impact of my tweets on education policy was recently featured in The Conversation: Teachers tweet truth to power, but will the politicians listen?
I hope you find this data useful and thank you for reading my blog throughout 2014.
Happy New Year from @TeacherTookit.
