The Magnificent Seven Steps to Remember




               Richie Escovedo @vedo | Mansfield ISD @mansfieldisd | #tspra12
Richie Escovedo @vedo | Mansfield ISD @mansfieldisd | #tspra12
   Grow Bigger Ears
    Listen and monitor the conversation
   Personality as an Asset
    It's ok (and a good idea) to human
   Storytelling in the Social Sphere
    Tell your story otherwise someone else will
   Don’t re-create the Wheel
    See what's working for others and follow
    their lead
             Richie Escovedo @vedo | Mansfield ISD @mansfieldisd | #tspra12
   Do Create the Reel
    Video is a powerful storytelling device
   Be Your Own Newsroom
    Communicate directly with your audience
   Learn from and Adapt to Change
    Social media can be a moving target
   BONUS TIP: Don't be afraid to ask for help.
