As a follow-up to last April's successful event titled "Deep Dive on Social Media", ISANNE and WhippleHill have teamed up with EdSocialMedia.com to bring their popular Social Media Bootcamp program to ISANNE schools.

On May 6th at The New Hampton School, in New Hampton, NH, ISANNE will offer a one-day, practical application of social media tools in a school environment.  The program will begin at 9 AM and will conclude by 4 PM with breaks and lunch included.

This workshop provides an in-depth introduction to social media technology for school leaders and administrators, complete with an opportunity to create content and get your hands dirty.

The morning session is about the fundamentals.We walk you through the mechanics of social media platforms and provide a groundwork on the Whys and the Hows. From there participants will use tools such as WordPress,Twitter,YouTube and Flickr to create and publish content to the edSocialMedia Lab site; earlier bootcamp participants produced every blog post, photo,‘tweet’ and video that you see there.

Specifically, we ask each team to capture the vibe on campus and share their finding by crafting:

• a minimum of 8 tweets spread out over the course of the event posted to #edsocialmedia
• two, well crafted articles for the blog (450-750 words)
• a photoset in Flickr of 10 photos
• a brief (around 2 minutes) video forYouTube

We encourage participation from as much of the school leadership as possible, and recommend considering including some teachers and students.
