Posted on 23. Jul, 2011 by Aaron Manfull.
We’ve posted before on using Networked Blogs to push content automatically from your WordPress site to a Facebook Page.

Posted on 11. Jul, 2011 by Aaron Manfull.
As scholastic media staffs begin integrating the web into their everyday routine, it’s becoming more and more evident that to be most effective, school programs should not be seen as individual mediums, but as a media program.

Carol Knopes posted a message on the RTDNF High School Journalism Project Teacher Listserv earlier this week pointing people to RTDNA’s Social Media and Blogging Guidelines.
