Introduction

The use of technology is everywhere. It is being applied at home, work, and play. There is always a new device or technology that is supposed to make our lives easier. Each device that is added seems to become obsolete as soon as it is brought out of the box. As an educator I need to be able to discern what is worthwhile to spend time on and which is not worth my time. I believe this degree program is a good fit for me. I enjoy examining new technology and figuring out what makes it work. Playing with new gadgets and equipment has become a bit of a hobby. The degree will match my current career field allowing me to build a better more in-depth and meaningful curriculum. The material that is to be covered in my class will need to be done so with more and more efficiency. As budgets continue to get cut and resources get fewer, efficiency is more important than ever. I would like to thank the many people who made it possible to complete this program: my wife and girls for giving me up for a period of time, my folks for the support they provided over the many years of education, colleagues and friends who let me pester them about various projects that were being done at the time, and the faculty and staff from my classes who helped talk me through several misinterpretations and problems I've had.

Artifacts will be links on the p ﻿ age, embedded files, videos or other means of illustrating the device.
