ITC 5220 - Computers in Educational Settings

This class was a the first step out of the "media literacy" realm and into the "new media" world. Whew - I did not realize just how breaking-edge new media was going to be! Having only graduated college in 2005, I thought that I was comfortable with new media. This class quickly opened my eyes to the possibilities of new media and showed me how truly behind I was! :) We explored how learning can best take place online. During the class we used a couple virtual worlds including AET Zone and Teleplace which was my first interaction with any sort of virtual world. The professor, Dr. Amy Cheney, was great. She was patient and encouraging - just what an immigrant to new media needed!
