Have you ever checked out the Carnival of College Admission? The Carnival is a great resource of blogs and articles compiled by Mark Montgomery. Think of it as a very focused Goggle Reader that you didn’t have to create. The Carnival is updated about once a month with the very best blogs and articles (which must be submitted and approved before inclusion). In addition, the host of the carnival changes frequently, which ensures that no one person, institution or company is unfairly using the Carnival to promote their agenda.
If you’ve never heard of the Carnival or stopped by, I’d encourage you to do so. I will try pop a short blog out with a link to it whenever a new one releases. Also, if you have an interesting blog or some research you’d like to share on the Carnival, you can submit it at this link: http://blogcarnival.com/bc/submit_5094.html
Happy Reading!

One of my favorite higher ed. bloggers is Karine Joly. I have been reading Karine’s blog “CollegeWebEditor.com” for several years now and it’s always thought provoking and on-point with the latest in Higher Education.
I had the pleasure of spending some time with Karine at the AMA Symposium on Higher Education in Chicago this past November. At that point, our blog application (MyCollegeBlogger) was still in development, however, I shared with Karine what we were doing to solve many of the problems we saw with current higher ed. student blogging initiatives. Much to my delight, Karine genuinely liked the feature set we were including in the application!
As part of our product launch, Karine was given a sneak-peak at the application and wrote a nice blog about it. You can find her article here.
Note that I provided Karine with a special offer available only through her blog post so if you are thinking about incorporating a student blogging program or having some trouble with your current program, you may want to check out Karine’s blog post! Offer is good through the end of Feb, 2009.
Happy Blogging!!
