GETTING
CONNECTED AS A NON-TRADITIONAL STUDENT
I have been
having a lot of fun lately on the web. There are some websites
I am SO excited about that I want to share with all non-traditional
students here on this page. Some are networking sites I have
recently found - and others help you or your group get on
the web yourselves. It helps a LOT to get connected as a non-traditional
student - and here are some sites to get you started.
THE NONTRADITIONAL STUDENT BLOG: Sign up at the site to get this blog delivered to your mailbox. You can also search for different subjects right at the blog too. It is free. It is not published a lot.
FACEBOOK
- I would advise all non-traditional college students to get
on Facebook right away. It's a great place to link up with
other students, and keep track of the students you are meeting
while you are in school. There are many groups on Facebook now. I am a Member of a olt of them.
MYSPACE
- What I said before: "Although this site started up as just a site for younger
people, now more and more older people are joining because
it's fun..."
Now, I think, MySpace is not being used a lot by people. I have not been back there for awhile.
DEL.ICIO.US
- this is another great site where people share links. You
can open this site when you first get online, and then "tag"
interesting sites you like. You can also look at other people's
del.iciou.us tags. I have not used this site for a long time either.
MAKING
AND UPGRADING YOUR NON-TRADITIONAL GROUP WEBSITE
There
are many great sites out there to help you make a website
for your non-traditional student group. Some of the best are
listed below. Most are free for basic services, and
charge only for upgraded membership.
Need
help making a website? These sites can really help.
The
Bravenet Site: check here for great webmaster tools. The
signup form, some counters, and other tools on this site are
from Bravenet. I am still here. I will be checking other sites soon too.
Tucows
- freeware of all kinds - webrings, web news, graphics, html
handouts, sitemappers, more. I have not been here for awhile.
Devshed
- free opensource advanced webmaster web goodies- I will have to go check this out again.
GoDaddy
- expert, low-cost web hoster. Free domain name checker on
main page.
For
Teachers and education students - get lesson plans and
links here
Photobucket
- This site USED to be free. I don't use it anymore.

- I used to share my photos there - but ownership has changed. I am not sure that support will continue for this (I have links to some photos still on some sites.)
Windy's
Site - great tools and scripts
