Do you Tweet?

There is an ongoing debate about how to get information to students that is timely and in a format that works for you.

  • We use email--and so does everyone else--so you have learned to ignore email.  
  • The Student Advisory Board (SAB) sends out an eNewsletter with information about activities, events and opportunities. It is sent to your inbox, so we don't know if it goes the way of your other email.
  • We started this blog as a place where Your Beloved Advisor could post pertinent information regarding advising, registration, and academic support--in addition to activities, events, and opportunities of interest to CHBE students could be posted.  Of course, it is only useful if you are a follower or you seek out this information!
  • So, if I were a student bombarded with too much information, what would be the best way to let me know tidbits of information that I might need or really appreciate?  The answer I am hearing most often is Twitter--it's short, it's sweet, it probably goes directly to your phone, and if you need more details, there would be a link to either the ChBE blog or ChBE Home page.
Did you know that there is ChBE Twitter account:  ChBE @ Georgia Tech, @GTChBE.  If you think this form of communication would work for you, become a Follower or let me know your thoughts.  We will try it out and see what kind of feedback is received!
