Engaging Students Through Social Media: Evidence-Based Practices for Use in Student Affairs by Reynol Junco My rating: 4 of 5 stars I picked this up when it first came out, and I have thumbed through specific sections over the years (as needed for work), but this is the first time I've read from cover-to-cover. While some technologies may be dead already (I'm looking at you, vine!)

Χρόνια πολλά! Χρίστός ανέστη!  Του χρόνου ελλάδα;  ίσως, πιος ξέρει ;-) Μακάρι. :-)

Seems like another (star trek) fan-film is down...or at least temporarily halted.  The Star Trek: Temporal Anomaly fan film seems to be in talks with CBS.  Since they started their work before all the "guidelines" came about (mostly because of Axanar, it seems), they were under the impression that they were grandfathered into the non-guideline era.  This is the third fan film (after
