Myspace and Facebook can help you with your Yearbook
December 31st, 2008
So you are quickly approaching that time when you have to put things a bit into overdrive and make some final decisions like, the theme of your yearbook. Some themes are very predictable and some are unique and if you want your yearbook to stand out it is important to think outside the box. Don’t forget your number one resource, the computer.
Start by asking around the school on different themes you would like to see for this years yearbook. One of the quickest and easiest ways to do this by using the websites like Myspace and Facebook to help you communicate. Physically speaking with students will still be a must but using the computer can aid in choosing the right theme. Most schools probably already have a group dedicated for your school. By contacting students through a group page you can quickly contact a great deal of students asking what they would like to see in this years yearbook. This is a great way to get through to all your peers in a timely fashion. You can set up polls and discussion within the walls of the group page and get some real honest answers from people. Your students will more likely give you an honest answer in the group online when they are at home than if you corner them at their locker. Posting flyers at school encouraging those who have not yet joined the group will also help in getting good feedback from the people who are going to buy the yearbook. The tools of technology have helped make things quicker and easier. Using these to your advantage will help you produce a superior product.
