As a employee of Schenectady County Community College's Student Activities and an alumni of the College, and current student at The College of Saint Rose, I am designing a blog that incorporates these three different yet, overlapping perspectives to provide information about Schenectady County Community College events, special features, and student life.
Who?
Anyone can do it...
-Want to see what other colleges and college students are blogging about check out, the students of Cornell University, MCC, & Hesston College.
-Clubs can blog too! At Wake Tech each club has its own blog.
-Confessions of a Community College Dean, not ours, but even college administrators like to blog.
-Are you an English teacher? Are you taking an English class? Community College English is an insightful blog written by English teachers and has links to other English enthusiasts.
-Culinary Arts students-- check out your instructor's blog Gastronomical Inspirations.
Why?
Just one of the many reasons to blog...
-Want to find out what events are happening at other colleges you can check out the president of Campus Activities at Adrian College, or read the student activities blog by the Student Activities Coordinator at West Virginia Northern Community College. These, and other blogs, are great places to get ideas for our own campus events.
What?
You can learn a lot from a blog...
-The Study Break: The world in B-flat blog is maintained by a public media specialist it explores 21st century literacies. This blog is helpful to both teachers and students because it incorporates strong educational strategies along with special programming that can be used for educational student activities.
You can report your campaign..
-Students at NYU blog about their campaign to Take Back NYU. There is power in blogging for college students.
Where?
Check out these web sites for more local information...
-Schenectady is full of history. There are blogs about historical events in and around the Capital Region. (eg. the Stockade Walkabout).
-Local newspapers report all over the area and are active bloggers.The Daily Gazette's blogs about high school sports among other things and so does the Times Union which has a blog specifically for Schenectady. This information allows students and faculty to consider larger community perspectives and may be useful resources for student prospects.
- Say Schenectady is a website that has a calendar of events in the area and links to other local sites.
-The Official Home of Schenectady County, provides more than news; it has resources to area networks. SGA and Criminal Justice majors should check out this site.
