How to write a

Links Postcard

Step 7: Design Your Card.

Try to keep the design simple and easy to scan, because (again) you really only
have until the recipient reaches the trash or the recycling bin to get your point
across. If you can say what you need to say in a sentence, then don’t say it in a
paragraph. It should be no more than 50 words altogether.

Step 8: Include Tracking.

Don’t forget to include the reference so that others can find the original source.
Include your own email address if you would like others to contact you to share
their thoughts on your postcard. Who knows? You might really start something
with your postcard. You might start your own educational reform movement …
strange things have happened.

Step 9: Send Your Card.

Once your card is finished, you’ll obviously need to send it out. We will take care
of that. Email it to us at adw-pd@ied.edu.hk .

Step 10: Collect the whole set.

As you send out your postcard and receive others (you might get about 50!)
collect them and use them to add to your leadership platform and stimulate
conversations in your school.

I’m afraid we will have to retain the right to change

language and/or images we deem offensive, but we
won’t do this without consulting with you.
