Tuition Increases and Google Alerts


Here are two articles that may interest you: the higher cost of higher education and tuition statistics in Canada.

And a tip: Does anyone out there use "Google Alerts"? It's a pretty cool way to filter the vast amounts of information available online... They are self-defined as: "... emails automatically sent to you when there are new Google results for your search terms. We currently offer four types of alerts: 'News,' 'Web,' 'News & Web,' and 'Groups.' "

For example, I have a couple of alerts set up under "news"... one for "Christian Higher Education" and one for, "Helicopter Parents." So anytime there is a new article in the top ten Google News stories or new website in the top twenty, I get an email with a link to it. I got notified about Trinity Western's new president and Tyndale's new property on the minute the story broke. Sweet.
