I know I’ve said it before, but will remind you again: teachers spend more time online than the general population does, which means that finding material online, whether it’s news, job support, or classroom materials is something they do multiple times a day, every single day.
While “Content is King” may be a cliché, it’s true if you are a brand that can offer valuable information for teachers. You can support their online surfing habit by providing the information they’re already searching for.
Below is a recap of the topics that captured educators’ interest online this past year on MDR’s WeAreTeachers media brand. It’s a month-by-month look at the best performing editorial content on www.weareteachers.com in 2018—to help plan your 2019 content strategy!
