I love it because it allows me to post information in a timely manner. In addition to the timely updates and announcements I have created some pages that students can assess at any point like Major/Career Exploration, Academic Resources, How to Declare a Major, etc. I have also include a calendar of events so students know what programs are happening around campus. <br /><br />What I like about the blog format is that I can put all of the information in one place that is easy for the students to access. Plus I don't have to recreate everything because I can easily link important websites to my blob. I also really like the blog format because I can easily track now many people are access the blog and what they are looking at the most. <br /><br />To try and help students remember about the blog I send a weekly reminder with information on what had been post since last week. <br /><br />I would be happy to talk about this further if anyone has any questions. <br /><br />Jenni Kotowski<br />Division of General Studies<br />University of Illinois @ Urbana/Champaign<br />jkotowsk@illinois.eduJenni Kotowskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03952408230182045710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4563817038811314784.post-83309452262951252702011-09-13T10:06:34.826-05:002011-09-13T10:06:34.826-05:00Hey Kyle -

Awesome!<br /><br />We've been encouraged to develop more technological "solutions" to some of the issues we face with undecided students. I've been looking into many different forums. Would you be willing to share information about how often the blog sites were visited, and how students interfaced with these?? <br /><br />Thanks, and I SO admire your initiative! :)Sara GR (granbs@mnsu.edu)http://www.mnsu.edu/fye/noreply@blogger.com
