Suggestions
When (1) Suggestions is selected, K-12 Social will search for social media content that shares relevance with content that has previously been shared, posted or searched by association with the “Streams” that you have created. The more you use a stream, the more relevant and populated these suggestions will be.
When (2) Explore Topics is selected, the Recommendations For section allows you to use the dropdown menu to select any of your account streams, and will then display a list of social media topics from around the web, which you may find relevant to read and/or share. Click on any of them to view the content associated with that topic. Click the “+” icon next to a content topic to add it to your “My Topics” on the right. Staff Picks are categorized lists of content that K-12 Social staff/partners have frequently suggested – these work the same as the above “Recommendations For” items.
