Google Alert - "international education"

I access and subscribe to many resources to keep up to date on the field of international education.  One of my favorites is "Google Alerts"!  The video I embedded in Monday's IHEC Blog post of Representative Dan Boren speaking on the House floor about the new NSEP African Languages Initiative was discovered via a Google Alert for the search term "National Security Education Program."


As a way of showing the value of Google Alerts I thought I would copy and paste one recent alert that contained a wealth of information.  Start receiving Google Alerts today at http://www.google.com/alerts.

International Educators who don't speak RT @ FF # are missing out...

...and that is all I really have to say about that!  I have felt this way long before I saw the results of the IHEC Blog poll on the preferred new media tool used by international educators to keep up to date on the field.

Results of the IHEC Blog Poll ~ What is the Top New Media Tool You Use to Keep up to Date on the Field of International Education?

Back on July 16, 2010 I posted a brief poll on IHEC Blog (view here) asking what is the top new media tool international educators use to keep up date on the field.  After two weeks, seventy-eight votes were cast and the results are now available here.

International Education and Community Colleges - A Brief List of Resources

The other day a colleague contacted me (via Twitter) looking for information on study abroad and community colleges.  Fortunately, I compile lists (many, many lists) and had one going on this topic so I was able to do more of less of a copy and paste job in a message (via LinkedIn) back to her.  I thought I would share that list here on IHEC Blog.  To be sure, my list is very U.S-centric so, in addition to learning about more resources here in the U.S., I am particularly interested in learning about resources outside of the U.S.  If you know of any resources that should be added to this brief list please leave detailed information below as a comment.

Literature obtained during the NAFSA Annual Conference & IHEC Blog Posts this Week

During the NAFSA conference I always find time to stroll through the exhibit hall.  I sometimes find it to be the most educational part of the conference.  To be sure, I’m always on the hunt for chotchkies for my kids and I think this year I did not disappoint!  I also started collecting pins (not buttons) from all of the various booths and I have a nice little collection going for the past three years.  More important, however, is that strolling through the exhibit hall provides an excellent opportunity for me to brush up on my anthropological and field/observational research skills (though I have no formal training in this area).  I find it very educational to see how various institutions, organizations, companies and countries present themselves to the field and I always find it fascinating to sit back and watch all of the people from all over the world interacting and working to establish exchanges/agreements as the exhibit hall is so much more than an us [U.S.] and them transaction.

Another practice of mine in the exhibit hall is searching for and collecting reports and books for my various research activities and to be housed in my Bury Book International Education Library & Archive.  NAFSA 2010 was exceptionally good to me as you can see from the photo pictured with this post (includes much of the literature I picked-up).  This week I will be highlighting some of literature I picked-up in the exhibit hall as well as some of the literature I was given (Many thanks IIE and MIUSA).  Additionally, I hope to post about a new publication about study abroad in the U.S. that I recently received.  To end this week I plan to post my video interview with Christopher Murphy, Senior Publications Director at NAFSA, as we discussed writing and publishing with NAFSA.

In case you missed my tweet (with photo) from #nafsa10 about the new CIEE Occasional Paper #32 titled “Study Abroad and its Transformative Power” by Gerald W. Fry, R. Michael Paige, Jae-Eun Jon, Jon Dillow and Kyoung-Ah Nam I thought I would put this great new publication on your radar.  CIEE has resurrected their popular Occasional Papers series and based on my conversation with a colleague at CIEE involved with bringing this new Occasional Paper to the field there will hopefully be more to come in the future!  You can access the Study Abroad and its Transformative Power Occasional Paper #32 here and all of the CIEE Occasional Papers here.

A List of all the Free International Education Resources I Utilize

I'm often asked the question "where do you find all the information on international education that you post about?" People have been asking me this question since I entered the field of international education back in 2000 when I primarily posted relevant information to the listservs utilized in the field such as SECUSS-L and INTER-L.  Technology has allowed me to discover and learn so much about the field so I thought I would prepare this post with links to anything and everything I subscribe to or use in my research activities.  Due to the large number of resources listed below I did not include a description for each but simply link you to the site.  In addition to many of the links taking you to free subscription information you may also find additional free resources for you to download!


New Media Tools


Twitter - I think Twitter is a must.  There is so much great international education related content being fed to the Twitter stream.  I created a Twitter list called "Int'l Ed. News & Views" that is a lost of international education thought leaders and knowledge producers if you are interested.

Facebook - Many organizations that focus on international education have Facebook Fan pages or groups.  Perhaps a future IHEC Blog post on helpful Facebook pages and groups is also necessary.


Blogs related to international education.  You can find a good list of these types of blogs on my International Education Blogs and News site.


RSS Readers (I use Google Reader) where you can subscribe to news sites, international education blogs and other media outlets. A future IHEC Blog post on who one might want to follow via RSS feeds is in the works


Google Alerts - I receive so many Google Alerts that I have included only a select few that I have (be sure to put quotation marks around your "search term"):  study abroad, international education, Fulbright, citizen diplomacy, education abroad, NAFSA, Forum on Education Abroad, intercultural exchange...the list goes on and on!
