College blogs of intrest



Did you know that Tacoma Community College is one of the early adopters of new technology and a leader in eLearning advancements in the state of Washington?  Other colleges look to our examples. However good we are, we can’t know everything. So I did some looking around for some other college blogs out there that you may find of use as a student making your way through this maze that is college and life.

Hack College
   Hack College is a blog dedicated to helping you “work smarter, not harder.”  All content is written by students, so it comes from the source.  It is not just tech stuff like tips for cleaning up inappropriate Facebook photos from last week’s party or recovering your missing English final from a corrupt hard drive. They have some really well written articles and they are trying to help you change the way you learn.

MyEdu
    You want to know exactly what your grade point is at any given time right? You also want to know what time your anthropology discussion starts, and how you can save up to 20% on books and tuition. And you want to do it all in one place.
    That’s where MyEdu comes in. They let you do everything listed above, as well as find out which classes your friends are taking, plan your degree by semester, check up on your professors, and much more. Best of all, it’s all free.

Rate My Professors
    Nobody wants the lecture with the professor who reads aloud from the textbook (or spits on the front row when he talks). Get the most out of your college dollars by checking up on professors before you enroll in their class.
    This free service rates professors on a 5-point scale for easiness, helpfulness, clarity and rater interest. 

    This site is an offshoot of Lifehacker, another blog for the geek in all of us. But I like the flow and feel of Gizmodo in how it brings college students all the latest information on new, must-have technological gadgets and gizmos, allowing us to stay in sync with the cool trends.
