Thank you to guest blogger, Lee Anne Hooley, a recent graduate of the Applied Communication program.

With technology constantly changing, schools are investing in technology to help improve and enhance student achievement. With the common core standards, educators need to ensure that students can demonstrate what they know, and not just "know." When implemented properly, these technologies can produce significant gains by boosting engagement with interactive learning especially with at-risk students.

Thank you to guest blogger, Dr. Maqsood Ali Mughal from the Industrial Technology department at Fitchburg State for his contribution to the GCE Blog.

During the Second World War, the United States fought against and helped to defeat Nazi Germany. For years afterwards, the fact that Nazi Germany in many ways stood as the antithesis of the United States, obscured certain historical parallels between these two radically different states.

In everyday life, roadblocks are those unexpected things that pop up and make your life more difficult. Whether you need a referral to schedule a doctor’s appointment resulting in ANOTHER phone call, or an actual roadblock where a trip that was supposed to take 10 minutes now takes 30, or returning to school and having something small turn into something huge, we're here to help!

Always be prepared…..isn’t that what your parents always taught you?  This is great advice that you can apply to every aspect of your life.  And it's especially important when dealing with financial decisions like returning to school.  You want to make sure all of your bases are covered and that you go into this knowing how it will affect you, as well as your family.  What better way to be prepared and organized than having a tailor made checklist to make sure all parts of your graduate school decision are covered?

A lot of people who are considering graduate school are held up by the idea of taking the GREs.  The Graduate Record Examination (GRE), is a standardized test that was, until recently, an admissions requirement for most graduate schools in the United States.
