[CASL-L] Facebook & Twitter

[Palazzolo Wicks, Katrina]

In Windsor, we have one district Facebook page with a pretty good following
(because someone has to maintain it and keep it active. If they page isn't
active, folks won't follow it).
Across the district, we have many Twitter users with fewer followers. But
we can re-post good stuff from Twitter to our Facebook and use it in our
newsletters, etc. It helps that our Superintendent uses Twitter.
We have at least one building Twitter account set up per school and it
feeds to each school's web site home page -- keeps the web page fresh.
An administrator -- or that admin's designee -- uses that account.
As webmaster -- I have the logins for those main building Twitter accounts
(not teacher Twitter accounts) so we can pass them on if someone leaves.
When new Twitter accounts are created by teachers in the district, they let
me and/or their school admins know to follow them.
Twitter is an easy way to capture what is going on in the schools and
across the district.
We don't get many comments at all on Twitter.
We get some comments on Facebook -- and again, those have to be monitored
-- someone has to maintain the Facebook page.
As district webmaster, I am also the watchdog on the Facebook page. I get
the alerts and forward the questions to admins who can answer them. Then I
post the answers.

Hope this helps.
