Geoff Campbell: eduWeb Digital Summit #eduweb15 Recap
[Side note: I would normally use Storify for a recap like this but I didn’t capture the tweets at the time so it’s now easier to embed them manually. I used Storify to recap my first digital/social media campaign (in 2011) and other events. I’ve also used it as a

One of the first breakthroughs I’ve had so far at FCS has been to get out Twitter account verified. It might not sound like much, but given the recent article by AdWeek, it is a highly sought-after mark of legitimacy. From my (incomplete) search of Verified accounts it seems likely

Working at a small independent school, I’ve learned to adapt quickly to the changing communications needs of the school.

The next step is to more directly align the website’s content with organizational goals.
