Changing Expectations for School Websites
• Not a brochure, a tool for educators, marketers, parents & students
• Driven by rich media: Videos, podcasts, blogs & photography
• More people managing sites instead of just IT: Marketing, information
services, teachers, administrative professionals
• Community advocacy: Donor development, levies, alumnae relations
A Growing Familiarity with Online Tools
• Students & teachers taking initiative to create own sites, pages, etc –
sometimes outside of school control and organizational brand
• Parents advocating for more ways to connect to classroom
• Ever-increasing need to teach more technology & science
• Gaming & digital media in the classroom is growing
• Social media usage is happening at all age levels, regardless if the school
itself officially is participating in the social media space
