I’ll begin with a caveat: I am terrible blogging. I have tried. I just never got the hang of it, though hopefully the 547th time’s the charm.
A second caveat: This blog is (initially, anyway) is intended to fulfill the requirements of R685 (The World is Open) course taught by Dr. Curt Bonk at Indiana University.
A little background about me: I am currently a Ph.D. student at Indiana University, studying Instructional Systems Technology. Truly, my interests lie (currently) in teacher preparation and technology, and in mobile/ubiquitous learning. I also enjoy dabbling in games, and though I am reluctant to admit it, design. Before moving to Indiana, I attended SUNY Potsdam in NY, where I studied History (undergraduate level), Secondary Social Studies Education (Masters level), and Educational Technology (Masters level).
