Anyone's schools using the ConnectEdu.net website for college planning? S came home w/logon procedure today. It is mandatory at the HS, and in it's first year of use. Other than online transcript request, can't see anything as far as college planning not available elsewhere on the web. Also, site has Facebook logon (probably how the site is financed) and email link to every student currently enrolled in the school. Absolutely don't see the need for those on a personal college planning site.

I guess the "old fogey" in me is showing in not accepting this new service. Seems like more distractions for the students rather than a helpful site.

Any experience w/this site? Or any thoughts on it?
