Your Weekly Guide to Leveraging Technology in College Counseling
Welcome to Tech-Neill-ogy #84!
Here in Brazil, it is Carnaval week, so we are off enjoying our equivalent of spring break. As such, I’ll be brief here. I hope you all have a great week.
Anyway, enjoy this week’s newsletter!

Here’s a great prompt for those delivering lessons to students in a college counseling class-type setting, or any other sort of teaching role!
Think like a [grade or university level] teacher and design a lesson plan to teach students about [topic]. Include at least [number] ideas and focus on [specific topics]. Include the ideal schedule to roll out the lesson plan.
For example, try this one:
Think like a high school college counselor and design a lesson plan to teach students about holistic admissions in the US. Include at least 5 ideas and focus on all relevant components of the application process. Include the ideal schedule to roll out the lesson plan.
For me, this kicked out a pretty terrific, interactive lesson plan, including this bit:
Key Takeaways for Students
✅ No single “perfect formula” guarantees admission.
✅ Authenticity and context matter.
✅ Consistency between application components is essential (your essays, activities, and recommendations should align with your narrative).
✅ Students can strategically shape their profiles through intentional choices—both academically and personally—throughout high school.
If you have any great prompts or ideas, please share! Send me a note at [email protected].


That’s it for this week. But first, here is a non-tech resource that I found to be particularly interesting. Take a peek!
Happy counseling! Bom Carnaval!
