The Journal of Technology in Student Affairs
Editor's Note
Welcome to another issue of articles covering a wide range of topics, some old (Facebook and podcasts), some new ("geeky" things), and some just fun (rabbits). As always, send any comments and questions to me. I am always willing to help new authors, so let me know if you want to write something on a tech topic related to higher education.
