Sorry to have been so slow in posting but I have run into a new project to occupy all my spare time it seems. Today I was accepted into the College of Business and Education Masters Program at WTAMU (West Texas A and M University) or simply West Texas State in Canyon for you Texans out there. I will be pursuing a Masters of Education in Instructional Design and Technology. It is a very practical program with a great deal of real world skills in web design, video design, curriculum design, and not so much of an emphasis on theory. I passed my preliminary selection interview today and was accepted into the program by the director, Dr. Rose. Because I have a fairly extensive background in things technical, especially web design and video editing, I will be allowed to substitute some advanced research projects on lieu of the basic classes normally required for the program. And best of all, the Hazelwood exemption deals with the cost. Yaaa Army!!
Anyhow, I am going to use this blog as a conduit to organize and pass on my research to my professors. If the posts begin to seem a bit out of sync, please by aware that I have NOT lost my mind, I am posting on specific subjects for grades. Meanwhile, Thursday I go back to Frisco for day three of my 30 hour digital fluency seminar. Thus far it has been enlightening and I will share more when I have a moment to organize my notes.
Speaking of Notes; don’t forget to recommend Microsoft OneNote Classroom Notebook Creator to any educators you meet. It is a great way to provide interactive lessons for your students and give them an avenue to collaborate among themselves. I am learning that true digital fluency and a truly blended classroom is not so much about using technology in the class, but allowing technology to provide means for collaboration and dissemination of the products created by the class.

PS. Still haven’t heard anything on the Dell sever question. C’mon now. Surely there is someone out there!!
