Web & Social Media
Surveys and Data Collection
We use our yearbook instagram to collect data by conducting surveys on the instagram stories. We use these for our student life feature spreads or theme spreads. Using social media for data collection gives us statistics and also short answers to questions, which could lead us to a bigger story. It is very useful when trying to find people to interview.
Photo Dumps
We do photo dumps on our instagram of pictures that are not in the book. It gets people excited for what yearbook is doing, and helps us get stories from people when they are excited about what we do. When we do photo dumps people post them on their story and it is a community builder in our school.
Hype Videos
Hype Videos are the highlight of our instagram. In fact, we have two yearbook instagrams dedicated to the videos we make. Everyone in the school loves the hype videos. They bring people together, especially when we watch them in assemblies. Our video editor’s (Nash Dunham) whole job is to produce these videos for our program.
