For two years Stacy Jagodowski has been blogging for edSocialMedia.com about the role of social media in education and social media best practices. Last summer she accepted a position at Cheshire Academy as the Director of Marketing and Communications. The Academy is in the process of redesigning the school’s website, and Stacy’s team is hoping to present at national conferences next year about the process and the research they have done to drive the redesign. “While I love what I’m doing, I do miss the Massachusetts coast terribly, and visit as often as possible. My parents recently relocated to Cape Cod, so I hope to spend much of the summer there. I talk to Marc Charles often, who lives in Florida and recently got engaged. I’m hoping to make it to the wedding this fall. My sister, Lindsay ’03, is still in Virginia teaching middle school theater and directing upper school productions. I miss having her local, but am so glad she is doing what she loves.”
