Hey Techies, Do You Get The Shakes When Your iPhone Goes Dead?

Students Love Technology
Via: OnlineEducation.net

Thanks to OnlineEducation.net for an awesome infographic!

So...I find it odd that only 82% of students write their papers on a device. What else are they using? Papyrus?

What do you guys think? Is this spot on? Are you fiending for your Tablet?

Dude, I Was At Testing Before It Was Cool...

Wayfarer Sunglasses, NBA Jam, Robert Downey Jr.—some things are so awesome that they simply must make a comeback. Take our testing and registration days: life a thief in the night they came and went. Those that caught the testing train were happy, secure, and ready to rock higher ed like a sampled techno beat. However, far too many were left untested, unregistered, and completely at the mercy of capricious "auto-scheduling."

Marymount College Memes! Create your own!

Absolute gem from new student Charlie W.
A meme—for those of you who aren't surgically connected to your computer's hard drive—is defined as: "an idea, behavior or style that spreads from person to person within a culture."

Within the wild west of the World Wide Web, memes are rampant. Think "Cute Kittens," "Dramatic Chipmunk," Old Spice commercials, "FAIL" and "WIN," "Demotivational Posters," Rebecca Black, etc.

(PS, Rebecca...why'd you sell out? I can't play your song on YouTube anymore and it has simply ruined my weekends.).

For fun, we made some Marymount-themed memes. We hope you enjoy. We also hope you do as Charlie W., one of our new students, did. He sent us the poster on the left, and it's quite possibly the best thing I've ever seen. 

(Warning, heavy lulz after the jump...)

Marymount 2.0 - Now With 300% More Awesome!

Summer is here. I think. It's hard to tell through the peanut-butter-consistency fog bank outside my window (for those of you not from southern California: every June it gets really foggy in the morning. It's called "June Gloom," and it is our karmic punishment for being able to get a tan in January).

Anyway, Marymount College is getting some work done this summer (like everyone else in LA), so we'll be in beach-body shape when our students return in the Fall. I'm stoked.

Read on after the jump to see all the changes we're making this summer...
