The design is simple and to the point. I would be nice if it opened in a new window for easier navigation. || In the section on the K-12 endorsement are you planning on including the new test requirements? I also noticed that you have Jessica Boylan as an employee of Sandy Valley she turned down that position and is working @ Brown Local (FYI) ||= Tami, thank you for that information. We received the spreadsheet from Dr. Ward, but we will discuss this with her. - Jessi || You each did a nice job presenting and I like the imbedded videos in the Prezi - nice touch. I'm very interested in the Google Forums you used to organize the information for easier analysis. ||= This question might be for a different forum, but I'm asking anyway: Can a district hire a technology coach/director/coordinator before completion of the program? In other words, are there any legal restrictions keeping me from applying for that Sandy Valley position before I graduate next summer? ||= Great question Beau! I am sure each district has their own policy on hiring. I would contact Sandy Valley and ask if they would consider you prior to you graduating. It never hurts to ask. - Marla Thanks, Marla. I went ahead and sent them my app and #|resume. We'll see what happens.

 * = Tami Warner ||= I love the site. It is a wonderful resource for potential IT Master graduate students.
 * = Gabor Smith ||= I really like your IT Masters course guide! I wish I would have had more options in my Masters program as well as a recommended course outlook like you gave. ||= I noticed there are a lot of bugs with the Springboard version. It enrolled me in the IT Masters program page on Springboard and I'm a Ph.D. student! The University likes keeping any pages related to course programs within their Dotcms #|website interface. If the IT program wants to, would you be willing to #|make a new page and incorporate your information within the University website? ||= Unfortunately that is not in our scope of work for this project. Maybe Dr. Ward will select that as a project for the future or you can suggest that to the Springboard support. - Jessi ||
 * = Beau Schluep ||= I'm with Gabor on this, I wish you had this class about 18 months ago. I've already favorited the website so I can easily access it as I approach the conclusion of the program. The layout of the website is very user friendly and I really like the testimonials.

Beau-Google Forms is awesome! You can create so many different types of questions and can have the option that they must be required to be answered. When you look at the results you can have it be put into an Excel table or you can do a summary of your results and it creates tables and graphs depending on your questions. Super user friendly! -Kathy || My only suggestion is to add the new testing to the page, that is one area that I have a lot of questions on now. ||= Will you be updating the site or will another party take over? I found that when I started not only could I not ever find any information, the information I could find was often outdated. What will happen to the other sites? Do they just go away or do they still linger out there? ||= Rome, thank you for the positive comments! I'm glad so many people appreciate the work we put in to create this resource for other students. We have gave Dr. Ward permissions on the Google Site, so we assume that she will be taking over the site. As far as I know, the other wikis may still exist, as they are ID projects created by other students. -Callah
 * = Rome Fiedler ||= Excellent job on the site. Like others I wish this was available when I started. The testimonials and recent job area is my favorite. This is something that prospective students are interested in. Your design is simple and straightforward.

Rome, when I started in the Fall, I felt like I could not find anything because there were two different sites. So I really like that we were able to pull everything into one site.- Marla || The. OAE is a subpage to the endorsements because the state of Ohio requires the test be taken before the endorsements are added to your teaching certificate..~Jessi || Kerns ||= I am with everyone else in their kudos on your project. This is such a valuable resource for future and current IT Master's students. The organization and attention to detail had made this an item for all of our favorites bar. It is great to have all the details we need in one place, along with external links that give us a full picture of what to expect and what is to be expected of us during the program. Well done!! ||= Did you receive a lot of feedback from current students? Did you have to conduct a lot of research to find all of the resources that needed to be included? I am just so impressed with the amount of information that is available! ||= Kaite, unfortunately we did not get as much feedback as we would have liked. I believe we got 12 students to respond to our initial survey. However, those who responded were very detailed and honest. It helped a lot! As far as the research we really took a lot of the information from the handbook with the exception of a few pages on our site. Our SME provided us with a lot of information so that helped us a great deal! -Kathy ||
 * = Dr. Ward ||= Super job on the website and on the presentation. Your team did a systematic ADDIE process and processed real data into a very usable and needed product for our students! The presentation was excellent. I loved hearing all your voices and your knowledge of this project..it is clear you all were active participants in this project ||= Yes, I will take over the updating Rome..hopefully I can keep things current, it is hard with all the changes all the time! ||= I will delete all the links to the old wikis...I hope I can find them all! ||
 * = Aimee Davis ||= You created a wonderful tool. I like the idea of uploading all of your screencasts into one prezi! I wish this site existed when I started the program. I didn't take Strategies for Online Learning as one of my optional courses and now I won't get the eLearning certificate. I enjoyed learning about google sites from your response to Beau, Kathy. ||= What was the most difficult aspect of your project? ||= One of the most difficult aspects was deciding whether the old wikis would work for us.We originally felt we could use one of the existing wikis but then quickly realized it did not offer what we needed. We wanted a place where there were main pages and then subpages. We also wanted to make sure the website had a flow in which the requirements for the various programs were clear.Thanks for your positive comment Aimee!-Kathy ||
 * = Steven Dietrich ||= Thanks for the website; it is now in my favorites, saved to my computer for quick reference. New Media Tech looks alot like Media Art, a very great interest to me, which I don't have time to complete! Thanks for the testimonials and the requirements on the certificates pages! It seems to me the cert. pages have alot of the same material in the first section under the "Do you . . ." part, which is like reading a sales pitch, I like your online brochure all together though, neat idea! Good prezi. ||= How long has the New Media Tech. endorsement been around? (No testimonials had one.) Why is OAE a subpage to an endorsements page? What is the true benefit of an e-learning certificate, how would I sell myself with one, if I don't take any additional classes for it? ||= Steven, I am not sure how long the university has offered the New Media Technology.
 * = Katie
 * = Kelly Weaver ||= Your site is awesome!!! I have added it to my list of favorites. I have graduation coming up and this is definitely going to help me! I only wish a site like this existed two years ago (which maybe it did but I could never find it). Also, what a great idea to put your presentations inside a prezi. That is a great idea!! ||= How did you know what questions to ask in your survey? I know you said you surveyed current students (which I sadly never got an email, I don't think) but I didn't hear too much about the specifics except a point Callah made in her presentation.

Also, Did your team every consider consider adding some media to your wiki site like videos or audio of some sort!

Thanks for a great site! ||=  ||
 * Holly Mothes || Fantastic presentation! I wanted to thank your group for inviting me to be part of your project by inviting me to take the surveys. Your project will make it so much easier for future students. What a perfect example of what this Masters program has to offer! Great job!!! || Do you think that the lack of response from the students was because a) they have already complete their credit b) They did not know what credit this could be applied to. ||  ||

Bennett || Wow! Great presentation!! Well done and great details. I enjoyed viewing your prezi with the video clips, testimonials from students, degree information, and it was a colorful project. Great team work!! || I notice while viewing the required courses, that "Learning Technologies5400:501 is not listed in the sequence for the e-Learning Certificate. Is this a necessary course and if so, do students earning the "Instructional Design Degree" need to take this course? ||  ||
