A Guide To Social Media Images (Infographic) At Original Ginger, we know how difficult it can be for businesses to keep track of all of the latest social media trends and platforms. Currently, there are at least five major platforms that you should be considering for your business: Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google+, and yes…. even Pinterest!

But each and every one of these social media platforms requires some savvy design from YOU if you really want to capture the attention of new fans and followers. The problem is that each one requires varying sizes of branded imagery to show off your brand, products, and services. It’s getting tough to keep track of it all. Well, we’ve got a tool to save you some time and keep the information all in one easily referenced place.

Happy designing all! Eric Sheninger: How Our School Adopted Social Media, One Small Step at a Time. Last week my school was fortunate to have the N.J.

School Boards Association (NJSBA) visit to produce a live event called Learn@Lunch: Technology as an Engagement Tool. You can view the archive of the event. A little over two years ago something like this would have never happened at New Milford High School. Yes, I was the principal at that time, but my perspective and philosophy as to what constituted a 21st Century learning environment was vastly different than what it is today. Back then I felt that being a tech savvy administrator just consisted of purchasing the tools for my staff and letting them use them as they felt fit. I was also adamant that social media had no place in an educational setting, but most of you who read this blog know about my radical change of mind in regards to this. To put it bluntly, no educational organizations in N.J. would have even thought of approaching me to talk about the innovative use of technology at my school.

Last week, I had a chance to meet with some parents from our school, and plan an upcoming 60-minute meeting in April – only this is not going to be like any other meeting we’ve had in the past. On Monday, April 23rd, our Home & School Meeting will be broadcasted over the web from the local Mosque. We’ve been offering Home & School 2.0 (live-steaming Home & School Meetings each month) for almost a full year now, enough time to work out the kinks, add new components and begin maximizing the potential of this once a month parent meeting.

Before we began broadcasting the meetings online, our attendance was around 10-12, and not a very good representation of a school comprised of 600 students and 22 different languages spoken at home. At last month’s meeting, we had 16 parents and teachers in the physical meeting (in the library), and another 33 tuning in from their home or work using a free web-conferencing tool. *It’s important to note that this event isn’t an isolated one.
