Musings on Education, Technology, Pop Culture, Religion & Staying Curious
In June of 2008, when I first began working at Full Sail, I ran across an article about a Texas professor who decided to make his whole course available online because he believed that just having access to the course materials was not nearly as important as access to the professor or the learning community.

As I mentioned in the previous post, there appears to be a lot confusion about what education is supposed to look like today, adding an online spin to the subject only makes matters worse. It should be obvious that the problem is that none of us can nostalgically look back at our online school experience [...]
This past month I heard from a former student, a music teacher, who had just heard that her contract was not being renewed for the next year, and this after she’d just moved to the new position thinking that this was a place where she could really do some good. My last two-years teaching at [...]

After the original iPad was released (back in 2010), one of my students wrote the following blog post about how the iPad will change education. How will the iPad change education? By Nick La Fountain There has been a lot of talk around my campus about becoming a 1:1 school. In this vision we imagine [...]
Soon-to-be EMDT Graduate and freelance photographer, Drew Fulton wrote the following blog post as a reflection on our course reading, The Art of Possibility by Rosamund Stone Zander and Benjamin Zander.

Just before Apple announced it’s e-textbook/education event in late January, 9to5mac ran an article that harkened back to a 1996 Wired Magazine interview during which Steve Jobs famously said, “What’s wrong with education cannot be fixed with technology.” Funny thing for someone to say who, in later years, was proud of the connection of this companies (Apple [...]
