So, have you ever wondered if all your hard work on your graduate degree would really pay off?  Let me tell you, emphatically, yes.  I'm set to graduate from The University of Alabama with my Master of Science in Human Environment Science - Interactive Technology this May.  Already on my job they are talking to me about becoming the first ever Instructional Designer for online courses. You see, there is an art to learning. Good career choices should guide your college major decision.  Check out the marketability of your major.  Choose a major that lines up with your innate abilities and passions.  The learning then becomes a labor of love.  Good luck.

How many of you are familiar with Second Life?  I just completed my first GoToMeeting Webinar on the subject.  The research was fascinating.  If you get a chance, check out the movie trailer called Life 2.0 on Youtube.  Sundance film festival award winner.  Very interesting. 

BTW.......if you like to watch flix about technology, try Pulse by Kiyoshi Kurosawa.  Read of the month:  Future Shock by Alvin Toffler.

See you online.
