Following are several December posts I selected from IHEC Blog's Facebook page that I thought I would share in this new media space. While I strive to post daily (Monday-Friday) here on IHEC Blog, my micro-blogging posts over on IHEC Blog's Facebook page are much more frequent with most days receiving multiple posts. I do a bit of posting over on Twitter as well (@DavidComp) but my level of engagement with Twitter has decreased over the past few months (still a fan and strong advocate). Here is a look at what I am doing over at IHEC Blog's Facebook page:
A great news and information resource on International Education is Acuma Incorporated out of Australia (http://www.acuma.org.au/). Check out all of their new media spaces at http://bit.ly/i5TDTq.
