Blogs, MySpace, Orkut, Skype, Wiki ... aaargh!!!

Sometimes there's so much technology to worry about that I forget I am supposed to be running a school.

When I'm not updating this blog, I'm making changes to our current site www.camdencollege.com or preparing the text for our new site www.languageinlondon.com (not online yet!). Then I have to update our Myspace and Orkut Language in London site.

A few years ago we became the first school in the UK to invite students (old and new) to chat online with MSN messenger (info@camdencollege.com). This is a great tool because it gives potential students the opportunity to get immediate answers and helps them to decide which course to take or accommodation to book.

Then we introduced Skype (camdencollegeofenglish), so that students could give us a ring at an time... for free. This has been very popular.

And don't forget that you can also find us in Wikipedia!

With all this technology, the one thing that remains the same is that we still need to have great teachers and make sure the lessons are interesting and useful. Some traditions are worth keeping!

Regards,
Stuart
