Web 2.0 in the school
Web 2.0 for R&R. Campus Technology, January 2009
- Common theme of (1) connecting with students and allowing students to connect with each other and building (2) relationships.
- “only as much technology as is necessary to create a real-life relationship”
- Usual list of tools: Facebook, chat/IM, YouTube, iTunes (podcasts), Ning and to a lesser extent Twitter.
- New jobs, titles and roles: Web Communications, Electronic Media
- Customizing portal (starting) pages based on student’s preferences and providing contact information for the school administrators who the student has made contact with.
- Internal issues: having administrators who “realize how essential these tools are now,” addressing issues with feelings of lack of control, protecting the “image of their institution.”

WHen will the freshman housing contracts be sent out?
Housing assignments for most on-time freshmen application have been emailed out with a July 9, 2009 payment deadline. It might be a few more days for applications sent by US Mail to be received. Following the July 9th payment deadline, additional spaces should open up for the remaining on-time freshmen applications. Once all on-time applications are made assignment offers, offers will be made to late freshmen applications.
