Synopsis

Is your school ...

• Celebrating the daily achievements of staff and students?
• Building connections with the wider community?
• Monitoring its online presence across web channels?
• Using social media tools to get better classroom outcomes?
• Aware of its online risk profile and the steps it should take to minimise harm on social media?
• Or simply not thriving online with a buzzing and active school community?

Many schools have built an online presence without a long-term vision of what they want to achieve or without taking the strategic steps necessary to get the full support of their community.

If your school is already "officially" online, there is a strong likelihood that it is not getting the most out of its efforts. If your school is not officially online, it is running a very real risk of reputation damage while missing out on the massive benefits that this exciting space can bring to the field of education.

Social Remediation is the culmination of five years of work with schools across the globe to take social media out of the realm of marketing and promotion and into one of community building, engagement and celebration.

About this title

From the Author:

This book is the culmination of five years of work with schools around the
world where minimising the risks associated with social media was a factor, but
maximising the opportunities opened up by these new channels was the end
goal.

The following chapters will not only highlight those opportunities that are now
available to every school -- regardless of size or resources -- but also walk
readers through the steps needed to implement a best-practice social media
programme in their school.

Innovators will find a framework to form a safety net for their cutting-edge
creativity.

Administrators will find real-world examples from some of the leading
institutions around the world that have ventured down this path before them.
Social media is no replacement for a strong and vibrant school community, but
if you already have one, it will help it thrive, and if it is currently less than the
sum of its parts, it can give it purpose.

This is not a one-size-fits-all approach -- different social media strategies will
suit different schools and communities depending on aims, purpose, skill
sets -- but it will provide a clear and concise path through the quagmire that
currently surrounds the use of social media in education.

Our aim in producing the book has been to bring some balance to the debate
around social media and empower educators with the knowledge, insights
and tools to make real and positive change to the way they interact with their
community.

We hope you'll take up the baton and run with it.
