Hello, I’m Dr. Rebekah Nix, with the University of Texas at Dallas. I’m sitting in the shadow
of Pikes Peak, overlooking the Garden of the Gods and Colorado Springs, with my laptop
and a webcam. This is where is conduct the better parts of my research with colleagues
in Australia, Canada, Taiwan, California, Texas, Florida, and New York. It’s also
where I enter grades for my Educational Technology course every now and then!
Obviously, I have identified and applied just a few of the benefits of the ‘information
revolution’. Symbolized by this refreshing mountain water, my goal is to help you find
the tools and resources you need to make your job better and - eventually - easier. Technology
does change quickly, but usually it’s in the right direction; you’ll find the basics
are the same across many settings. Try to see this bottle as ‘half full’, okay?
I have to ask questions and get help all the time. You forget what you don’t practice,
so give this online adventure a chance with your best effort. It’s up to you to ask
for what you need, and for what you want. Keep up with the content, remember the context,
and use your own unique contacts ~ and creativity ~ always. Happy trails!
