Shane Haggerty, a school PR colleague and blogger from the fine state of Ohio, recently interviewed Jesse Bardo, executive director of EdSocialMedia, the group organized to represent private independent schools and their efforts to use social media to promote their schools to alumni, prospective students and the public. Shane, who does public relations for the Ohio Hi-Point Schools, asked Bardo how private schools manage their presence online and discussed the dramatic growth of EdSocialMedia into a clearinghouse for information about using Facebook, Twitter and other tools on the web. You can check out the video at the link below. I’m also providing you with a screenshot of Northfield Mount Hermon private school’s NMHBook, an aggregator of that school’s social media feeds and a fine example of what public schools ought to be doing. NMH was Bardo’s former place of employment before he was named to the EdSocialMedia position.
