"12 Days of Twitter is a convenient and free way to learn to tweet on Twitter itself. Our friendly team - including people who learnt Twitter on 12 Days of Twitter themselves - will teach you how to reap the rewards whilst avoiding the risks of social media.  It will take just half an hour a day over 12 days, with live support, online chat and guidance throughout - although you may want to spend more time to get the full benefit for a current project or cause. You'll learn the mechanics of Twitter itself, as well as the tools, techniques and tactics to get it working for you and your goals - whether you're in business, using social media to learn or to teach, or trying to change the world with a hashtag."

Combined with a beautiful board, students are more likely to be interested and stay engaged with the test review process."
