VA Adaptive Housing Grants, Tinnitus, First Online Impressions, Blog Following


Today’s Video is about the VA’s adaptive housing grants for disabled Veterans, at: http://youtu.be/AKZjGmvJJ6c You can find out more about this program at: www.benefits.va.gov/HOMELOANS/adaptedhousing.asp

Hearing loss and tinnitus are the most common disabilities of Veterans.  If you suffer from ringing in the ears, here is an organization that shares news and resources, at: http://www.ata.org/action-alliance/support-for-veterans

Setting yourself up for a good semester starts by being prepared, and giving a good first impression of yourself in the classroom, whether it is in-person or online.  Here’s a few tips at: http://blog.cengage.com/?top_blog=tips-for-students-put-your-best-foot-forward-in-your-online-classes

Be In-the-Know: If you’re interested in anything, there is probably a blog about it (a blog is an online journal, often with multiple contributing authors.)  It’s easier to stay current with research and news if you can pick a few favorite sources, and get on their e-mailing lists.  You can do similar things with Facebook ‘likes’ and YouTube channel ‘subscriptions.’  Here’s some interesting general sites:
