Top Web Links, Tweets & Instagram Posts from 2017

I share helpful links for educators on Twitter and Facebook everyday. I also post graphics on Instagram each week. Let's see what resonated on social media in 2017.

Since the web links I publish go through my URL shortener (tonyv.me), I can track how many clicks each link receives. In addition, Twitter Analytics provides me all sorts of statistics about my tweets. Similarly, Instagram Insights shows me data about each of my posts. I’m using these tools to bring you the best of what I shared in 2017.

Let's see what got the most clicks...
