Welcome
to my Educational Technology thesis page!
The purpose of the study is to determine the general state of
readiness of the members of NJEDge.Net for the emerging video
services being offered by the state of New Jersey through the
Commission of Higher Education. Additionally, the study will bring
to light how these services are currently being used in the classroom
and will attempt to measure the overall readiness of the institutions
to be able to use these services.
This website serves several purposes. First, it is for personal
reference during the course. It is also the location for public
distribution of the reseach materials and final thesis. It may
also be of interest to anyone seeking a Master's degree in Educational
Technology at NJCU and to those who take this course. Finally,
the site, itself, may serve as an example for others adopting
a website as a portfolio for their own material.
The author wishes to thank his advisor and the NJEDge.Net executive
committee, my friends, family, and colleagues at work, for their
support of this project. It would have not been possible without
their help and encouragement.

NJ's Higher Educational Network
NJEDge.Net website
This website is the source for much of the information used
in my study. Content from the recent addition of video clips
of the October 2003 convention were also used. Not having
been able to attend these presentations in person, I was
delighted to find them online. The fact that the videos
were there re-inforces NJEDge.Net's ipVideo mission.

Improving Teacher Quality Program
www.smart-teachers.com
The ITQ is a professional development program sponsored
by NJCU and the Jersey City public schools. The program
focuses on motivational tools that bring a sense of wonder
back into the classroom. The website itself appears to be
a work in progress under development by my advisor. I look
forward to seeing more from this group.

Dialing Plan.com
Telecommunications
Glossary
The company is a broker for discount long distance carriers.
They provide the glossary as a public service. All telecomm
managers should be familiar with these terms, but who can
remember them all? This is a good reference.

Wireless LAN Resource Guide
Apparently, there's a revolution going on. Grassroots efforts
to promote free or nearly-free wireless communities has
found a home at this website. It is also a great resource
for implementing wireless networks of all types. Warning:
This is a noisy website, but you can shut off the noise
at the top of each page. Also, clicking on the "Welcome
to the Wireless LAN Revolution" link takes you to,
what appears to be, an alternate site.
