  How to Turn One School Event Into Weeks of Reels with Andrea Gribble

  Sep 14, 202631 min

  You really can create a bunch of great video content without spending hours at your school! I’m sharing exactly how I turned less than one hour at Academic Night into 10 different Reels. One event can give you weeks of content if you know what to look for. I’ll walk you through how I found students, staff, projects, and little moments worth capturing along the way. Your videos do not have to be perfect to work! Some of my favorite clips were completely unplanned, a little messy, and very real - and that’s exactly why they connected with our community. You don’t have to edit and post everything right away. I’ll show you how I spread these videos out over several weeks so one night of storytelling kept working for me long after the event was over.

  What No One Tells You About Working in School Communications with Mike Cyze

  Sep 7, 202643 min

  Mike Cyze has spent 14 years in school communications, and he knows firsthand what this role demands. He shares a perspective on the work that will have many school communicators nodding along and thinking, Yep… he gets it . There’s a part of this job that most people never see. Mike opens up about one of those moments - and the lesson he took from it is something every school communicator needs to hear. Some of the best advice Mike has collected over the years is surprisingly simple. From knowing when to stop talking to learning how to receive feedback, these little lessons can make a big difference in how you communicate and lead. And when the work feels especially heavy? You need the right people around you. Mike shares why connection, laughter, and having people who truly understand this profession matter more than we sometimes realize.
