Student Self-Analysis

William, You are right. It can provide a great "roadmap" for both the student and the instructor to use technology more efficiently as well as provide "differentiated" learning based on outcome of self-analysis and resources available. Dr. Kelly Wilkinson

Content and Policy for Proper Use

stacey, Great strategy! This social media "thing" isn't going to go away so we must address the role of professionalism within the medium. It will hurt the student in the long run if we don't. Dr. Kelly Wilkinson

Virtual Environment Technology Tools

May-Lin, What a great post. You make a great point about competency that applies to your other comments. So many times you are the only contact the student has to the university. Also, you don't want the technology to be the barrier to learning you want it to be the gateway. Dr. Kelly Wilkinson
