NMHS Principal to Lead Webinar on Social Media

Education Week, a news site for educators, will host a free webinar on March 2 at 2 p.m. for educators to receive guidance on how best to use social media within school districts. NMHS Principal Eric Sheninger is one of two instructors for, "A District Road Map: Finding Your Path in Social Media," due to his extensive experience with social networking including Facebook and Twitter.

Participants will explore how social media tools can help school districts get their message out to the communities they serve and promote school and district successes. Nora Carr, chief of staff for the 71,000-student Guilford County Schools in Greensboro, N.C. will be running the webinar with Sheninger.

"SchoolMessenger is proud to partner with Education Week to support this important and timely event," said Nate Brogan, vice president of marketing at SchoolMessenger. "This webinar will help district leaders address the challenges and opportunities social media presents and equip them with the knowledge and tools necessary to better promote their district."

Attendees will learn how to use social media tools, including Facebook and Twitter, to get their message out to a wide audience, enhance professional development and promote their successes. It will also provide guidance to those who may be reluctant to use social media tools or feel district technology policies may stand in their way.

During this webinar SchoolMessenger will release findings from its comprehensive survey of parents and school leaders concerning attitudes about and adoption of social media for school district communications.
