Lorrie Jackson, Director of Communications and Marketing of Lausanne Collegiate School in Memphis, TN & edSocialMedia contributor, sat down with me to discuss how she introduced social media into the school’s outreach plan, how it has been received by Lausanne’s constituents and advice for schools on how to get started with social media.

Additional highlights from our conversation:

• A breakdown of the current social media projects underway at Lausanne Collegiate School.
• What drew her (and Lausanne) to social media from a marketing perspective.
• How researching an NAIS article helped her establish social media best practices for the school.
• How Lausanne’s social media plan dovetails with the school’s web site.

Many thanks to Lorrie for taking the time to come on the show.
