Well, I finally graduated from my Masters program in Education, via CTER at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. Forever an Illini now!

Also tagged ed-tech, instructional video, opensim, second life, vleI have been playing with a new tool to create interactive fiction games. I was a big D&D fan, and played the Zork games and even the excellent Hitchhiker's Guide Infocom game.

Also tagged digital story, ed-tech, epsy556, instructional videoThis has been an enlightening past couple of weeks. First, creating the WebQuest and now I am working on a digital story.
