The Student Affairs Collaborative blog

with 3 comments

Student Affairs Collaborative Blog

The Student Affairs Collaborative blog is a popular multi-author Student Affairs site. The SA Blog, as it’s popularly referred to on Twitter, contains a lot of relevant student affairs reflections, polls and information from a variety of student affairs professionals. Yesterday, I was invited to be a member of the Student Affairs Collaborative blog. From now on, all of my posts that are tagged with “sachat” (short for Student Affairs Chat) will be auto-aggregated via RSS into the SA blog. This will be similar to how my current “higher-education” tagged posts get auto-magically posted to the Blog High Ed site.

Note, content repurposing via RSS will be a featured topic at the NACADA Technology Seminar in Seattle on January 24th.

eduFire SuperPass giveaway

eduFire SuperPass giveaway

Koichi, the Social Media Marketing Manager at eduFire and WordCamp PDX pal, recently sent me two free things: an eduFire t-shirt and a free month of eduFire SuperPass.

Eric Stoller eduFire t-shirt and free SuperPass giveaway

While I am definitely going to keep the t-shirt, I have decided to give the free month of eduFire SuperPass to a randomly selected commenter on this post.

All you have to do is post a comment. I will enter your name into a fancy random drawing Excel spreadsheet. Please note that commenting more than once will not increase your chance of winning the SuperPass. If you are a current eduFire student/instructor, I would love to read some user experience comments.
