I am posting this today because I have been behind working on my blog.

Today I got to experience high-level technology in the medical field. I had surgery to remove a very early melanoma from my eyelid. That is a really bad spot to get melanoma since the cure is to remove additional tissue around the site location. So something that could have been simple when found anywhere else became complicated. I went to Wills Eye in Philadelphia. They have a very impressive operation, nice, professional and competent. My surgery, which I don't remember much went well. The actual surgery only took about 17 minutes although I was in the Operating room for an hour. I have a black eye and swelling which should go away quickly. The surgeon did a great job. You really have to look hard to find where he made the incision.

Because of the surgery, I missed class. I will be working with Julia and Angela on the IT Timeline project. We are looking at how technology in education has changed over the years.Julia set up an account at Wikispaces for us to work with. We often attend class through Wimba. So here is the link for Wikispaces: Teachingtools2dot0 We have more work to do but Julia has downloaded some peer reviewed articles about the changes in technology as it relates to education.

This is definitely old school!

Looks like new school to me. Is this an Apple commercial?

Early to mid-century schoolroom? Things have changed! But it does kind of have a warm, homey feel to it.

Introduction to Instructional Technology---September 7, 2011

The first day of class at Stockton was really hectic, with alarms going off and difficulty logging onto Blackboard. We ended up changing rooms so that we could pay attention to class. Everyone got an introduction to Wimba by sharing our vision of our future lives. We all will have graduated and moved forward toward an achievable future.  Here are some of the ways I see myself today and when I graduate in 2013.
