Facebook Stats

Earlier in the semester I posted an email that I sent out to the DHHS seniors and their parents.  After sending that email, my FB page received some likes, but not as many as I would have liked.  I took some screen shots of the FB page and its (gradual) progress in the early stages on my phone.  (I didn't actually realize how different and in depth the statistics were on the computer.)

The first screen shot is from when I FINALLY broke the 30-like barrier.  I had a surprisingly difficult time doing that.  Students, and even parents, were unresponsive to my promoting attempts.  I would have to talk to classes on occasion, but it was hard for me to promote the page because the students were unable to use their phones during school.  I would have them write the name of the page down in a notebook, a planner, or even on their hand!  This would generate a small bit of activity when students would remember to like the page when they got home from school. 

The second and third screen shot were taken during the first part of college week.  I helped many kids with college applications and I would encourage them to like my page to receive scholarship information and deadlines.  This method was much more successful than simply hoping students would remember to like the page.
