Some California community colleges have 1,700 students per academic adviser. But a state law designed to protect faculty jobs may help prevent the hiring of more counselors.


Community college leaders say "completion agenda" has been good for the sector, even when painful, but they worry that the focus could have unintended consequences if it becomes a fixation.  


Instructor raised concern about separation of church and state at a public university. The day she went public with the threatening e-mails she received, her courses for the fall disappeared.


New study -- in challenge to a 2007 finding -- says black graduates of historically black colleges fare better in their careers than do those who earn degrees from other institutions.

TLT-SWG: LTA Snipping Tool - [Windows Vista, 7, free, easy screen shot] #TLTGltas see: http://tlt.gs/ltas






Posted: 29 May 2012 11:12 AM PDT

LTA=Low-Threshold Applications/Activities.  See tlt.gs/ltas
"Snipping Tool captures a screen shot of anything on your desktop, like a picture or a section of webpage. Snip a whole window, a rectangular section of the screen, or draw a freehand outline with your mouse or tablet pen (or your finger, if you're using a PC with a touchscreen). Then you can annotate, save, or e-mail the image using buttons right in the Snipping Tool window."  

Avail for Windows Operating Systems Vista & 7, not for XP or earlier.
The image at the right was captured using "Snipping Tool" from browser view of Web page http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/products/features/snipping-tool.  I then used the annotation tool to add the subheading.  The quality of the handwriting reflects my clumsiness with my right-handed mouse (I'm left-handed).
This is the easiest to use, simplest screen capture tool I've found to date.

Colleges haven’t been shy about embracing social media sites, especially Twitter, as a means of promoting their programs, finding new students, and sharing big events on campus. Professors, students, and staff haven’t been the only ones getting in on the action, however, as a number of college big-wigs also have great Twitter accounts that are worth checking out.
