campus atmosphere Student/Student Interaction Teacher/Student Interaction Provide information
SportsAcademicsEveryday life
PROMOTE IOWA WESLEYAN COLLEGE
SOCIAL MEDIA TOOLS Facebook Twitter Blog Flickr Youtube IWC Website
BLOGS Could use services such as Blogger,
Wordpress, etc. Students can post “diaries” Teachers can use for homework (Dr.
Price) Great for other user input While blogs are a great tool, they may
be becoming obsolete (How likely is it that someone signs onto blogger and looks for an Iowa Wesleyan College blog)
A similar idea could be implemented into our website
BLOG BUILT INTO IWC WEBSITE Students/Faculty could log in with school
email and post to a blog on the website Could also comment on posts Have a problem with campus?
Post it, and see how many feel the same way
Only registered faculty/students could post, however it would be open to public
Gives prospective students, parents, and alumni an idea of what is going on around campus
Much more efficient form of blogging
Short and to the point
Students can voice quick opinions
Announce events Updates in sports
Tweets can be directed
Twitter is no longer the future, its happening now
All organizations have Twitter accounts and IWC needs to make sure they take full advantage
MICROBLOG EXAMPLES

activities Create events for both on and off
campus events Promotes a sense of community Parents can keep up with the lives of
students Facebook as an aggregator (Has other
social media built in)Photo Albums (Flickr)Status Updates (Twitter/Blogger)Video Albums (YouTube)
YouTube does what photos cannot Could be utilized most for campus tours Prospective students may not have the
money/time to make an actual visit VNR’s can also be published on YouTube
to inform the public about Iowa WesleyanSummer construction progressNew teacher/coach introductions
Teachers could publish video tutorials
WWW.IWC.EDU More unique hits on our website may be
difficultMost people come to the site for a reason,
they don’t just stumble upon it New site and layout are well designed
and visually appealing Information needs to be easy to find Other social media links need to be
available
