School marketing podcast #20: #EdSocialMedia Summit 2013 Highlights

In April 2013, I had the opportunity to attend the #EdSocialMedia Summit 2013 at the Walnut Hill School for the Arts in Natick, MA, just outside of Boston.  In this episode, I will share highlights and takeways from the various speakers who offered practical tips on social media for K12 and HigherEd environments.

I linked to most of the speakers in the shownotes, along with some videos to watch.

Your School Marketing is on Pinterest

RELATED ARTICLE:

For schools not on Pinterest (now or never), it is still essential to consider your school’s visual strategy because parents and prospectives may want to pin your stuff!  So even if you have no plans on pinning yourself, be sure and offer them strong pinnable visuals on your web pages, in blog posts and throughout your site that can be pinned (having a quick “Share” button with a Pinterest option is essential).  You can also create strong video content on YouTube that can be pinned as well.
