Greetings:

This past week has been almost a complete wash for my classes. I flaked off on my blogging and did not work on my chapters at all. Instead, I studied for the CSET single subject math test on May 20 ( Whew!!). I took two subsets : algebra and geometry. Going in I felt somewhat confident of my knowledge of the subject matter. Thankfully, I received information from the high school math teacher that linear algebra was on the test. For those wishing to take the test, be prepared, the tests are at college level(not the middle school level where you teach). The only study guide I found was from a Site called XAM.

Also, I have been preparing myself for the interview on Tuesday. I am interviewing for a middle school math/science position.

I hope all that are planning on taking the ETEC 699 course this summer enroll soon.

Hello,

This past week has been spent with writing the Literature Review, of course. Also, I worked on the development chapter.

Today I finally made it to the library to research Master's Thesis in Web or Web design. I found 32 related thesis that closely matched what I am doing. After looking through two of the thesis, I realized that I should have done this in the beginning of the project. One gave many directions toward the literature review that I had not yet discovered.

For those that have not taken the time to research a Thesis, please do, it has help narrow some of my searches and help me refocus.

Take care,
Robert L.

Hello All:
This week has been spent working on my Literature Review and working on other areas of my thesis. After getting out of the writing slump, I have become more productive. Whether I can enroll in this Summer's ETEC 699 course is up to student enrollment. So anyone interested in taking the course this Summer, please enroll.

Hello All:

The week saw the first draft of the IRB completed as well as the Master's Project form. I have managed to spend more time looking at other's Blogs and making comments. Seems the closer I get to the end of the program, procrastination rears its ugly head. Staying focus on the Lit. Review has been quite a chore, but I will spend this weekend in "lock-down" in my office to improve my weak Lit. Review.
Have a great weekend!

Hello All:
This week was spent working on the literature review, of course. I had much difficulty in finding scholarly information, however, I was able to find an abundance of information about school Website design from actual middle schools. Often, the Web designer would state what did not work well, or what did work.

I searched through CSUSB library data bases (ERIC, etc). This search revealed much information, but tended to be the "Pay me $25.00 variety."

I hope all is well with all members of the ETEC 644 group.
