What was the most influential content last month and what can social media analytics tell us?

Here are the most popular tweets from my Twitter account during the month of June 2016. This information has collated by Twitter Analytics and Buffer. You can click on any of the images to open up the original content. It will prove an interesting read for teachers keen to explore the potential of social media.
The Story So Far:
In June 2016, I tweeted 1,150 times. Typically, I send more information in the evenings and at weekends. Please note, I programme tweets so that I can continue with my life at work and at home. I am not on a device 24/7. Instead, I make social media work for me using coding and applications to share content.
Millions and Millions!
My tweets earned 6.9M impressions over this 28 day period. That a lot of people, with 45,700 of you visiting my Twitter profile. Over the past 28 days, 2,274+ people have chosen to follow my tweets with 3,049+ copying me into your messages! It was a quiet month, but that’s still a lot of content for me to read too!
Most Retweets:
There are no words that could ever express the mood of the nation, when we all discovered mother and MP, Jo Cox had been murdered on the streets of her constituency.
I shared this to raise awareness, with the hope that teachers across the country would share the story of Jox Cox in their school assemblies so that it never happens again. Sadly, this tweet gathered the most impact, with over 137,000 people seeing the content (without clicking). This means at the moment readers are using their device or PC, they will have seen this tweet.

@TeacherToolkit demographics – June 2016
For example, 66% of my audience is based in London, UK. 87% of my readers link education as one of their interests from analysis of their profile biography and shared-content. I would not be able to know this information without Twitter Analytics.
For me, this helps me decipher what my readers want to read. Why not give it some thought for yourself?
Oh and look at these(!), some really cool bracelets from USBMemoryDirect.com.
TT.
