What to include in your social media publishing schedule: Part Three
In a three-part series, I’ve derived a school-centric publishing schedule from Ann Handley and C.C. Chapman’s book, Content Rules. The book discusses exciting ways for your school to create the best online content and reveal your school’s enticing story. To hear it directly from Chapman and Handley, be sure to join edSocialMedia on May 3 [...]
Spring Rain Brings Summer Projects?
The rain coming down outside serves to remind me that Spring is here. With Spring comes the promise of summer and the relaxation that it brings. (Pictures of beaches are now dancing in my head.) Spring also means it’s time to start planning for all the technology work we hope to undertake over the next [...]
What to include in your social media publishing schedule: Part Two
Strong, engaging content should be the foundation of your school’s social media strategy, and an editorial calendar can help accelerate your school’s online presence. Ann Handley and C.C. Chapman’s book Content Rules provides a descriptive manual to put businesses on the right track, and I’ve specifically tailored it to help the education industry find [...]
Symbolics: How To (Pt. 2)
If you are reading this post, you have most likely read its companion that explains what a Symbolic is. If you have not, I encourage you to do so before reading on. In this post I want to give a “meat and potatoes” explanation of how I introduce Symbolics and help students complete each step [...]
The Curious Incident of the French using Flickr for Fashion

Every year just before graduation Fessenden takes a class picture in front of the main school building. They turned this annual tradition into a Flickr “set” by posting [...]
Symbolics: Making Abstract Thinking Concrete (Pt. 1)

I use Symbolics as an alternative evaluation tool, and I have found a way to use Flickr to make the entire process much more effective. I explain how later in this post. These videos explain the concept [...]
Good Rapport: Maintaining a Professional Online Presence
A few months ago, I discovered a great program called Rapportive to use in combination with Google Apps. Rapportive downloads in seconds and replaces the advertising along the right side of the email screen with the contact information of the sender. Essentially, Rapportive collects the sender’s social networks and neatly organizes them for your review. [...]

Become what you are
“Become what you are” is more than a great 1993 album by Juliana Hatfield (worth noting; I’ve had a crush on Juliana since roughly 1994), it is a great phrase to keep in mind when using social media for your school. I thought of Juliana Hatfield’s album title when I read this quote: “You don’t [...]
