Thing 15

I absolutely loved the short video. It recaps so many truths. I am working on my MEADM online. Initially, it absorbed 100% of my time outside of work and I thought I made a mistake; however, two years later with only two more courses to go, I couldn't be more pleased with my decision. I will enroll in a doctoral program and it will be online. I do not understand why we (the world of education) is not so much more advanced in this, online/computer technology, area related to delivering instruction arena. (Absenteeism would be a non issue, we could expand our enrollment, etc.)

My son and daughter both have required texts their college instructors/professors never used. The speed and range of access afforded through use of online texts and libraries can't be beat (not to mention the green factor).

Michael Stephens mentions in his article, Into a new world of leadership, that in the Librarian 2.0 "technolust" a "librarian does not buy technology for the sake of technology." Tuche. Our SBISD Library Resource staff is addressing a "real world" activity by offering us this professional development opportunity. Thank you for being one of the "trendsetters."
