Rebecca, I do have several "rules" that I have set for myself. LinkedIn, I only use for professional contacts, which is the products intention. Facebook I do use regularly and I don't put anything on there that may make others uncomfortable. I will not depend on the blocks that seem to change in Facebook to secure my site.

Rebecca, You make a great point. I work with the professional development area of my college and we encourage are students to develop their professional persona in areas such as LinkedIn and to think about what they put in Facebook. It is interesting that there is now an issue with employers asking for Facebook credentials. . . . hmmmm. . . . Dr. Kelly Wilkinson

William, I agree that we have to "plug" into the media that is current. We have to help shape professional behavior when using those new types of media. Dr. Kelly Wilkinson

Self-Analysis Inventories

Flora, Great point! I think we have to look at others ways to get our teaching "fix". When we teach in a traditional environment, there is a "high" we get from the performance. In the online environment, we have to find our "teaching fix" differently. Dr. Kelly Wilkinson

Alternative and Authentic Assessment

Tina, True, and I don't think you can dismiss that! Actually an authentic assessment tied to billing and coding may make it more "real" for students to have that important foundational knowledge. Dr. Kelly Wilkinson

Alternative and Authentic Assessment

Tina, There is some research that shows are better applying concepts when put into a "real world" experience. It can also be tied to experiential learning. Dr. Kelly Wilkinson
