Week 2

This semester may be the most challenging of all my semesters so far. I am taking the two classes and my workload is increasing at UCM. In addition to a rather high-profile project, constructing a data mart for the academic departments, I have several smaller projects building web sites for various university departments.

At least with this class I think I will really get some practical experience and knowledge. I support the shift in focus of the Ed Tech degree toward distance learning and away from computer system support. My interest is in adult/post-secondary education but the program still appears to be aimed at K-12. Except for the MO VIP program I haven't seen much distance learning for public school students.

This weeks assignment of creating a PowerPoint tutorial will be interesting. I have had to create several such tools for our reporting tool. I haven't been able to spend much time on it so far because of other pressing work and home issues. I guess that's what the weekends are for.
