Using hashtags in our school district social media

2. Hashtags were developed to help
organize posts.

3. Hashtags categorize your tweets/post, making them more easily
found in searches. They also help others find your tweet/post and
your school page, which usually leads to gaining a follower or at
least gaining interaction.

4. Here’s what you need to know…

5. You use the hashtag symbol before a
relevant keyword or phrase to help your
tweet or post show up more easily in a
search.

6. Clicking or tapping on a hashtagged
word in any message shows you other
tweets that include that hashtag.

7. Hashtags can be included anywhere
in a tweet or post.

8. If you tweet or post with a hashtag on
a public account, anyone who does a
search for that hashtag may find it.

9. Type a hashtagged keyword in the
search bar to discover content and
accounts based on
your
interests.

11. 1. DON’T use spaces and punctuation
in a hashtag.

12. Wrong: #bad dog. Right: #baddog. Don’t use spaces or
punctuation in your hashtags. It will end the hashtag at
the exact spot you use them. Most likely, this will result
in your hashtag not making sense.

13. 2. DO use our
District hashtags

14. We have come up with some
district hashtags in our Provo
Way campaign and would love
your help promoting.
Remember, when you use
hashtags they become
searchable and we are making
a huge push to promote the
#TheProvoWay.
This means you could
potential help YOUR page by
using these district hashtags.

15. 3. DON’T
mistake
@ for #.

16. @ is used to
tag a person or
page whereas #
is a search tool.
@ is a great
thing to use if
you would like
to tag the
district or
another school.

17. 4. DO use UpPer and
loWEr CasE.

18. You want people to be able to
read your hashtag. #ImAPro is
much easier to read than
#imapro.
This comes down to readability.
#ILoveSchool and #iloveschool will return
the same results.

19. 5. DON’T go crazy
with the hashtags.

20. Use actual words to get a message across.
Two hashtags is a great rule of thumb.

21. Here are our district hashtags.
We encourage you to use
#TheProvoWay and one other.
