“Voice Out” is a way for students to share their comments, concerns and compliments (C.C.C.’s) regarding Pellissippi State.
You can always join in the regularly scheduled Voice out sessions on campus but now, at Pellissipi State Blogs, you have a 24/7 option for sharing your opinions at the Voice Out blog
During Fall Break (starting at 5 pm on Saturday, October 17 and running through midnight on October 19), the college is having a major upgrade to its electrical system. This will impact our college server room and thusly, this blog site.
For more information about the other computer and phone systems that will be impacted, visit the Tech Update blog.

Another exciting use for our little blogging platform has emerged: Student Clubs!!
Using the web to communicate and share information about your club is great but using a blog is even better because it makes publishing so much easier and faster. Plus, you can mix in media like photos from Flickr, videos from YouTube of your club activities and more. Check out the Clubs page to see the listing of the blogs and watch them as they get started!

If you have photos from campus that you want to share and you are using Flickr, please join our group!
We now have been upgraded to the latest and greatest version of Wordpress Multiuser (also called Wordpress Mu or Wordpress ยต). We have also upgraded various plugins (bits of code that can extend your browser’s functions) to be as “state of the art” as we can.
The dashboard and editing interface has changed slightly. You will see the most change in the Widget area under the Appearance menu. If you have problems, just let someone at ETS know!!

We have an exciting pilot blogging project happening soon. This spring and summer, Pellissippi will have nine Global Ambassadors participating in eight different programs through the Tennessee Consortium for International Studies (TnCIS)to:
We want to capture their thoughts about their experiences as well as photos, videos and anything else they want to share. So, after installing a few choice plugins here on our Wordpress Multiusers site (details on that soon), we are ready to go.
Each Ambassador has his/her own blog. Each trip has a blog that will be fed from an RSS feed based on a common tag for each trip. Instructors will have a class blog, if they choose for academic writing in the courses offered during these programs. In addition, using a common tag for the entire system, we also have a
central blog that will contain samples of posting from all of the trips in on location.
Sit back and enjoy the tour.
