Learning Curve

Today I cannot imagine how I managed before and realize how much easier the home page program has made our lives.

David M. Fetterman and Melissa DetermanPolicy Analysis and Evaluation

The Internet has become indispensable to be informed for class discussions. When we studied Ebonics and national standards we looked at reports in the media on the Web. Similarly, our discussion of national standards was grounded in the Department of Education’s web pages.

One of Professor Fetterman’s web pages links us to a variety of professional associations in education and evaluation, including the American Education Research Association and the American Evaluation Association (AEA). In addition, his web pages in evaluation link us to professional listservs, including the AEA’s listserv, the collaborative participatory and empowerment listserv, as well as research corporations and clearinghouses.

Our last project has been posting messages in the virtual classroom on the Internet. There we can post messages and thoughts on a given subject. It can be accessed immediately by anyone in the class. This is useful because it keeps the messages all in one folder.

Professor Fetterman has dedicated himself to making his students successful and he realizes one way to do that is to teach us about technology. We have become more marketable with our knowledge of home pages and we have the world at our fingertips with the click of a mouse.
