» Blog Archive » Texas A&M Launches Social Media Scavenger Hunt Texas A&M News & Information Services



Readers,

This should be VERY interesting! Texas A&M University is launching a campus-wide scavenger hunt! According to the A&M News and Information Services website (LINK):

Texas A&M University is teaming up with The Collegiate Licensing Company to launch a first-of-its-kind campus-wide social media scavenger hunt using smart phones. The scavenger hunt, scheduled for Jan. 25-26, is designed to encourage the university’s nearly 50,000 students to explore their 5,200-acre campus as never before—and reward those checking into campus destinations using their smart phones.

What a great idea! Recently, I started using Four Square and I plan to visit each of the locations on the TAMU campus very soon!

Does your university have a similar program?

Sincerely,

Millennial Professor - Jennifer T. Edwards, Ed.D.

Freebie Wednesday! - Save Money on Post-It Notes for Class!


Readers,

I love purchasing items for my students to use in the classroom. This includes candy, school supplies, and other motivational giveaways. One giveaway that works very well for college students is Post-It notes! We use them for activities and the college students use them for labeling their book chapters! I wait until these items go on sale and I purchase them with coupons (like the one in the link below).


Enjoy!
