Use Twitter "Moments" to Share School Events and Activities

Follow us! @CareerTechTest

Nearly a year after releasing its Moments curation feature, Twitter Moments is now available to users.

Twitter Moments are curated stories about what’s happening around the world—powered by Tweets.  Originally, a user could click on Moments on their profile page to find curated stories, i.e News, Entertainment, Sports, and Fun, in a typical news format.

But now, it’s easy to create your own story with Twitter Moments.  I think this is a great way to share school events and activities and it could also assist with classroom discussion, especially when dealing with current events.

Either watch the video by Richard Byrne of Free Technology for Teachers or follow the directions from Twitter below:


How to create a Moment

There are three ways to begin creating your own Moment. You can access Moments through the Moments tab, your profile page, or through a Tweet detail. To get started all you need is a title, description, Tweets, and a selected cover image.

From the Moments tab:
  1. From the Moments tab, click the Create new Moment button.
  2. Click the Title your Moment field to give your Moment a name.Note: Titles can be up to 75 characters in length.
  3. Click the Add a description field to type in a description for your Moment.Note: Descriptions can be up to 250 characters in length. 
  4. Choose Tweets to add to your Moment:

    2. To add a Tweet to your Moment, click on the checkmark icon 
  5. Click Set cover to choose a cover image from one of your selected Tweets, or to upload an image from your computer. Drag your selected image to set a Mobile preview, click the Next button, then click the Save button.Note: To change your selected image, hover over the cover image and click on Change cover media. After you’ve set your cover media, the source will be credited below the image. 
  6. Once you have Tweets in your collection, click on the up  or down arrow buttons  to the right of a Tweet to move it up or down.
  7. Click on the delete button  to remove a Tweet from your Moment.
  8. Click on the crop button  next to any of your selected Tweets to make an image selection for mobile viewing.

  • You can click on the Edit button under the Moment description to continue editing your Moment.

The Emerging Leaders' Guide to Thriving at Industry Events

The Emerging Leaders' Guide to Thriving at Industry Events jhammond@desti… Tue, 11/05/2024 - 21:09

Attending industry events as a young professional unlocks key opportunities for growth. This guide shares tips for maximizing networking, skill-building, and bringing value back to your organization. By investing in conferences, leaders empower emerging talent, fostering a resilient, forward-thinking workforce ready to lead the future. 

6 min read

Attending events and conferences as a young professional or emerging leader is a transformative experience that offers invaluable opportunities to network, learn, and enhance your contributions to your organization. Recently, my colleague Kelsey Hayes and I attended the Texas Association of Convention and Visitors Bureau (TACVB) conference, which underscored how impactful these events can be for personal and workforce development. This guide aims to provide young professionals with actionable tips for maximizing their experience at industry events while highlighting the importance of encouraging leaders to invest in developing their emerging talent. 

Why Conferences Are Crucial for Workforce Development

In industries like tourism and destination promotion, staying up to date with evolving trends, technologies, and best practices is essential. Conferences are more than just learning opportunities—they are investments in the growth of both employees and organizations. By attending these events, emerging leaders gain fresh insights, acquire new skills, and build connections that can ultimately improve their team’s performance and contribute to the organization’s success.

Workforce development flourishes when employees—particularly younger team members—are given the tools and opportunities to grow. By sending them to conferences, leaders empower these professionals to bring back innovative ideas and actionable knowledge, strengthening the organization. Investing in young talent is the cornerstone of building a resilient and forward-thinking workforce as we prepare for the future. 

Building Connections: The Power of Networking

One of the most rewarding aspects of attending the TACVB conference was connecting with other young professionals at the Young Professionals Reception. Meeting peers navigating similar challenges offered an immediate sense of community, which is crucial for those new to the industry.

Networking is an essential component of workforce development. Building relationships with peers, mentors, and potential collaborators can significantly impact your career trajectory. These connections often open doors to new opportunities and create a support network you can rely on throughout your professional journey. Events like TACVB provide the perfect platform to establish these relationships early, laying the foundation for long-term success. 


Tip: Be Intentional About Networking

To make the most of these opportunities, approach networking with intention. Find a buddy with someone at your level to explore the event with. Be proactive in introducing yourself to others, ask insightful questions, and genuinely engage in conversations. Make sure to bring the business cards and wear a name tag. Remember, it's not just about expanding your professional circle—it's also about building meaningful connections that can offer support, guidance, and collaboration in the future. Make these connections meaningful by connecting on LinkedIn or sending an email note.

Expanding Your Skills Through Professional Development Sessions

Professional development sessions are a goldmine for enhancing your skillset. At TACVB, I had the opportunity to attend several sessions that directly aligned with my role. From learning about cutting-edge marketing strategies to discovering the latest tools for stakeholder engagement, these sessions provided practical insights I could immediately apply at work.

These sessions are vital for workforce development and equipping young professionals with the skills and knowledge necessary to excel. By learning directly from industry leaders and experts, young employees can bring back innovative practices that enhance their organization’s operations. 

Tip: Select Sessions Wisely

Review the conference agenda beforehand to maximize your learning and choose sessions that align with your current role or areas where you want to grow. Divide and conquer with your colleagues at the conference to maximize the sessions attended. Don’t forget to bring your desired note-taking guide. Think critically about how you can apply what you’ve learned to your job or your team’s objectives. Review your notes within 24 hours. Don’t go on information overload; take the time to sit and reflect with your notes.  

A Pivotal Moment: The First-Timer Lunch

Another pivotal experience at the TACVB conference was attending the First-Timer Lunch. This gathering brought together professionals at different stages of their careers, from CEOs to coordinators, providing an open forum to exchange ideas and share experiences. It was an eye-opening opportunity to connect with industry veterans while building relationships with peers attending for the first time.

Interacting with experienced leaders offers invaluable mentorship opportunities and career insights for young professionals. Exposure to those further along in their careers allows you to learn from their experiences, gain advice, and explore potential career pathways. This type of engagement is crucial for workforce development, as it helps younger employees envision their future within the industry and fuels their drive to grow within their roles. 

Tip: Seize Opportunities to Engage

Don’t be intimidated by titles or experience levels—these events are designed to encourage conversation and knowledge-sharing across the board. Take advantage of casual moments, like lunches or receptions, to introduce yourself to seasoned professionals and ask thoughtful questions. These connections can help shape your career path. Prompt questions and an elevator pitch to yourself for who you are and what you do beforehand if socializing does not come as naturally to you. Bring fun merch to hand out; this can be a great way to not only promote your brand but also get your foot in the door, so to speak, for initiating a conversation.

Remember to take care of yourself. Rest and recharge your social battery to avoid burn-out throughout the conference.  

Bringing Value Back to Your Organization

The ultimate goal of attending any conference is to bring the insights and skills you’ve gained back to your organization. After attending TACVB, we returned to our roles with new ideas for improving marketing strategies and more effective approaches to stakeholder engagement. The knowledge I acquired enhanced my performance and allowed me to contribute more meaningfully to my team’s success. 

From a workforce development perspective, this is where the investment pays off. When young professionals return from conferences, they come equipped with a renewed sense of purpose and valuable insights to benefit the organization. Leaders who prioritize sending their younger team members to events foster a culture of continuous learning and innovation, ensuring that the organization remains agile and competitive.


Tip: Share What You’ve Learned

Don’t keep the knowledge you gain to yourself—host a debriefing session with your team to share key takeaways from the conference. This will position you as a proactive leader and help disseminate valuable information throughout your organization, enhancing overall performance.

Conclusion: Investing in the Next Generation

Workforce development is critical for any organization looking to stay competitive in the tourism and destination marketing industry. Conferences and events allow young professionals to expand their skills, form vital industry connections, and bring innovative insights back to their teams. Our experience at TACVB emphasized just how powerful these opportunities can be, both for personal growth and for an organization's long-term success.

By investing in young professionals, leaders are building a more skilled, motivated, and connected workforce—one that is ready to lead the industry into the future. Attending events is not just a steppingstone in personal career growth; it is an essential part of developing the leaders of tomorrow.

What are the main events for today?

Welcome to the US CPI Day! Inflation is back at the top of market's focus after the Fed's 50 bps cut in September, the acceleration in the US data and Trump's victory.

If we look at the markets, there's been already some pre-positioning/hedging into a potentially higher than expected CPI print, so there's some risk of a "sell the fact" reaction. Of course, a bigger than expected upside surprise would be much more straightforward.

The market is currently pricing a 63% chance of a 25 bps cut in December and basically two more 25 bps rate cuts in 2025 which is already much less than the four projected by the Fed in September.

13:30 GMT/08:30 ET - US October CPI

The US CPI Y/Y is expected at 2.6% vs. 2.4% prior, while the M/M measure is seen at 0.2% vs. 0.2% prior. The Core CPI Y/Y is expected at 3.3% vs. 3.3% prior, while the M/M figure is seen at 0.3% vs. 0.3% prior.

At the latest Fed’s decision, Fed Chair Powell said that they expect bumps on inflation and that one or two bad data months on inflation won’t change the process. This keeps the 25 bps cut in December in place even if we get higher inflation readings.

The market though is forward-looking, and the rise in Treasury yields showed that the market sees risks to the inflation outlook. Moreover, the red sweep could increase those fears if the progress on inflation stalls, or worse, reverses.

Therefore, higher inflation readings might not change the near-term monetary policy outlook, but I personally see it changing the market’s outlook and eventually the Fed’s one.

Psychologists and professionals working with domestic violence victims trained at OSCE-supported events in Moldova on both banks

The OSCE Mission to Moldova held the final in a series of three training sessions for 12 psychologists and professionals working with domestic violence victims. The session took place on 27 June 2016 in Rybnitsa, a town on the left bank of the Dniester/Nistru River.

The event aimed to equip participants with essential skills in family counselling and post-traumatic stress rehabilitation. Participants studied means to identify family violence, various coaching techniques to use when working with families, as well as methods for handling trauma and post-traumatic stress among domestic violence victims.

In the past week, similar training events have been held in Chisinau and Tiraspol with the total participation of 50 professionals from Bender, Causeni, Chisinau, Comrat, Drochia, Rybnitsa and Tiraspol.

Participants in the training sessions included psychologists, teachers, medical professionals, lawyers and social workers, all of whom encounter cases of domestic violence in their work through Moldova’s referral system.

The training events were held as part of the Mission’s project to strengthen the capacity of those who provide crisis services to women and families on both banks of the Dniester/Nistru River. The project was developed following a country-wide assessment conducted in 2014 and 2015. The assessment identified a number of challenges in this field in Moldova, most notably the difficulties in accessing domestic violence services – including shelters and crisis centres – for those living in rural areas, and a lack of state resources.
