…y college, or communications studies class. You can connect things to your job field from just about any class you take and get the brain flexing power up of learning new material at the same time. Next time, I am going to introduce Coursera.org (you people that like to get ahead can check it out now!) — a website that offers online, 6-12 week courses from top universities (think: Stanford, Berkeley, Princeton, etc.) for FREE.

…school counselors, I will be requiring website/phone verification of your job at a school or your university supervisor’s email/phone number at a university email address. I also ask that this money go directly to getting to the conference and not your lattes. If you end up not going, please have the integrity to pass it on to someone who will.

…with some of our audio visual inclined students – this was the one for the job. Records in full HD quality and microphone works well enough to put at the back of an auditorium and get the presentation (use a microphone though!) audio just fine. Suggested accessories for best experience: 53-Inch Camera Tripod with Bubble Level (Silver) (Price: ~$15 USD) A tripod is a must and this one is cheap, small for ease of storage, and simple to use.

In my testing – this can be pretty powerful to help narrow down lists for students that have some specific things they are looking for that fall outside the typical items you may see on a SCOIR, Naviance or other college search tool. 2.
