Create, Connect, Convert: Using Social Media as an Outschool Teacher

May 28, 2026 @ 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm PDT

Thank you to everyone who joined our recent Create, Connect, Convert webinar with Jess Merrill from Outschool’s social media team!

Together, we explored practical, approachable ways educators can use social media to connect with families and grow their classes, without needing to become influencers or post every day.

Some of the biggest takeaways included:

  • Families are looking for authentic, relatable educators—not “perfect” content
  • Social media works best when it helps families imagine what learning with you feels like
  • Simple, consistent posting builds more trust than highly polished content
  • “Show, don’t sell” storytelling is often the most effective way to encourage enrollments
  • Sustainable strategies like batching content, reusing posts, and focusing on one platform can help avoid burnout

Educators also discussed:

  • Which platforms work best for different goals
  • Easy “post-and-go” content ideas
  • Simple video strategies that don’t require heavy editing
  • Content that helps families visualize learner outcomes
  • Best practices for class marketing images and visibility

One of the most important reminders from the session: Your authenticity is your advantage.
