21st Century Marketing in USD 331 Communities

The Internet and social media continue to redefine how organizations, businesses, and the community promote themselves.  How can you work to improve the visibility of your organization on the Internet?  Can you promote your business with social media?  Is it possible to attract businesses and families to our community using these tools?

USD 331 staff and students are discovering the answers to these questions by attending the Marketing Using 21st Century Tools course at ESSDACK.  During this five session course we are learning how to market ourselves and our community by using Social Media, Blogs, and Search Engine Optimization (SEO).  Our goal is to apply this knowledge and use the resources within our schools to promote and improve our schools and community.

We have taken some of the first steps in marketing our school by creating a Facebook and Twitter presence as well as redesigning our school websites to provide updated content.  Please take a look at these resources.  Be sure to "Like" us on Facebook and "Follow" us if you are a Twitter user.

  1. It's exciting to watch what you are doing in your district. Including students as part of the team is a brilliant move.
