Stephen, You make such a great point. Students will think that you have a lack of knowledge if you can't manage the technology. We do have to establish our expertise in the content and somewhat in the technology. Dr. Kelly Wilkinson

Tami, I agree with you. I also have observed that our traditional students are have the same characteristics of our nontraditional students. They too want to know why they have to learn this. They will no long just do busy work and who blames them. Dr. Kelly Wilkinson

Tomi, Yes, it would be. Many internships are done for a grade. At my institution we are implementing a system called co-curricular record. This is where students can record work done that did not have a grade assigned to it. Internships are there as well as leadership, professional development and service learning activities. It is a nice tool to have. Dr. Kelly Wilkinson
