6 Awesome Tips to Use Vine Videos for School Messages

Vine is a short form video sharing service. And when I say short, I mean all you have is six seconds to tell your story. Six seconds that could be very powerful for your school or school district. Why? Because it is owned by Twitter.

Being owned by one of the most popular social networking sites on the planet is a pretty big deal. What is even more important is that you can embed Vine videos into your tweets. This can be great way to send out a message to your followers. SA message that is different from the traditional text Twitter message.

Here are SIX SUGGESTIONS for Vine videos you could embed in your school’s Twitter feed:

1. School Announcements- got an important announcement you want to get out? What not record you or a student saying the message.
2. School Spirit- send an encouraging message to your team before a big game.
3. Video Map- have an open house or meet the teacher? Create a quick video showing the correct door for parents to enter.
4. Homework Reminder- why not remind your students by video of important assignments that are due. Great on Snow Days.
5. Thank You’s- send a quick thank you to your PTA or teachers for all their hard work.
6. Meet the Teacher Videos- send brief bios or introductions of all the great teachers in your school. Highlight one week.

Vine is app for your SmartPhone. It runs on iOS, Android, and Windows Phones
