Knowing how to leverage your Facebook page is only half the battle. Staying up with the persistent changes is becoming exponentially harder as Facebook continues to innovate. For Facebook administrators, it’s one more place to displace your time, and it’s hard to keep up. But no matter what the statistics, your school must be creating compelling content to get your constituents to see the content, and generate an engaging conversation to increase your interaction rate (which will, in turn, get your story into the news feed of your constituents). So how does your school swing it? Several attendees joined edSocialMedia on Oct. 13 at Stuart Country Day School of the Sacred Heart for a Facebook Bootcamp experience to learn the tricks of the trade.
