#SchoolStories: More Important Than Ever!
The #FutureSchool is well and truly here. Make sure you don’t get left behind in the move over to #RemoteLearning. Remote teaching & learning from home should by no means signify the end of #SchoolStories! The show must go on(line), get it?! 🤔
With the majority of schools closed, spreading positive messages from your school on social media is more important than ever. Here are some of our top tips to keep your #SchoolStories flowing:
🎨 Creativity:
Come up with a creative video and get your staff and students involved. Check out this great example from the British School in The Netherlands 🇳🇱
🎤 Communication:
Using video-calling software to deliver your classes/meetings? Take a fun screenshot of your online learning experience with students at home. Take it up a level by getting the most students/staff members in one call as possible!
📕 Learning:
It doesn’t all have to be happy, smiley children. Showcase the learning activities & completed exercises without the need for faces.
📸 Content:
Still on the school site? Now is a great time to take photos of your beautiful facilities without any need to wait for passing students. An hour of photos could have you sorted on Instagram for the next few weeks! Not on the school site? Use this time to throwback to sunny days of years gone by. ☀️
🏄♂️ Co-curricular:
It’s not all work, work, work. Share stories of activities that students are taking part in remotely. We’ve seen loads of great initiatives for students to get involved in:
