Blog Homework #5

After reading the article, College Recruiters Lure Students With New Online Tools, I felt really left out. The kind of technology that St. Mary's has is really cool. If any of my colleges that I applied to and got into had that, it probably would have changed things. (maybe, maybe not.) I am from Elkhart Indiana and I am real close to St. Mary's, I know how small it is and how this kind of technology does it good, but imagine the possibilities for even the big schools, like this one. Alot of smaller colleges are trying out this extrememly cool video tour/magazine approach and it has helped them significantly. I dont want to use the term awesome, but i am going to, to describe this. It is really awesome what this kind of technology is doing for the college community. Big schools, like IU, have such a huge student enrollment that word of mouth and tradition usually contributes to students from the region but tis reputation in certain areas attracts a small national and global population.
