TheRecord.com - Life - Teachers use Facebook to reach students - 0 views

  • MacNeil was already using his own website to post assignments, useful links and samples of work in his communications-technology class, so Facebook seemed a logical next step.
  • Looking through Vaughan's class Facebook page, there are several discussion topics being debated daily and students -- old and new -- posting messages by the hour.
  • "It wasn't that it was any better than sending an e-mail or anything like that, it was that they seemed more willing to accept that media over the other ones,'' says MacNeil.

Video Application: The New-Age Cover Letter | Pinhopes - 0 views

  •  
    A cover letter gives you a chance to make a case for yourself, and cover everything you cannot express in your resume. It affords you an opportunity to come across as real people and explain your suitability for the desired position, to potential employers. Companies often look for thoughtfully written cover letters, as a method of screening applicants who lack the necessary skills or interest for the said position. Cover letter can thus form into a marketing vehicle for any prospective job seeker.

Thoughts on Facebook - 0 views

  • Think about not only your marketability today as a cool guy or girl in your college social circle, but who you might want to be in five or ten years when posting an "identity" on the Internet. Remember, just because it is a new technology does not absolve you of the responsibility to use it in legal and appropriate ways — including taking into account your obligations regarding proper conduct as a citizen of the university.
  • even if you take it down or change it, it remains accessible to the rest of the world on the Internet anyway.
  • Don't say anything about someone else that you would not want said about yourself. And be gentle with yourself too
