Using Twitter When Choosing a School

From Robert Kennedy, About.com Guide   November 24, 2009

Follow me on:

With more and more private schools using Twitter, I found myself wondering whether it might be a useful tool during the school selection process. If I were visiting schools, I'd want to keep in touch with them after the visit.

Twitter offers a great way to keep in touch. That's because most schools have figured out that tweeting about anything which is going on at school reaches a large audience. When a professional writer like me sees something interesting on Twitter, I retweet it to all of my followers. So the exposure to a school's message grows exponentially. Would I use Twitter to follow a school if I were a parent choosing schools? You bet.
