College Week Live- 2 Days & 1,000 Questions
Well, the Spring 2009 College Week Live virtual college fair is now history. According to the managers at CWL, the IECA-hosted Counselor-on-Call Center was among the busiest and best attended parts of the show! I have heard from nearly 40 of our participating members and all but one indicated that it was a great experience.
A few quotes from IECA participating members:
Joan Bress: “The experience was hectic, but fun. Â I felt like an over caffeinated air traffic controller.”
Iraida Alvarado: “The experience was at first very confusing and overwhelming, but once I got the hang of it, totally satisfying, even exhilarating!”Â
Susan Hanflik: “I have never felt more ADD in my life, and I completely am awed by our kids’ ability to multi-task conversations on the computer.”
Judi Robinovitz: “The kids (and some parents, too) asked excellent questions about SAT vs ACT, AP vs dual enrollment, deadlines, factors in admission decisions, etc.”
Terry Lloyd: “I thought it was great fun and wonder how we can develop this into something for pro bono students.”
Suzan Reznick: “For the most part the students were very grateful and polite. It was fun, but very intense last night, hard for me to type fast enough to keep up!”
Dean Skarlis: “I did enjoy the chat room, and I think the entire concept is excellent.”
Jane Shropshire: “It truly does feel like a college fair, with students clamoring for attention and appreciative, as Mark said, of informative responses. Â It was a pleasure and a privilege to participate.”

I will add my voice to the positive comments of participant consultants. I represented our firm, The Goldberg Center for Educational Planning, on day one of the College Week Live online fair. This fair was a great example of why it is so important for us to stay “up” on the technology that our clients use everyday. Thank you for the opportunity!
