ITEC830 - San Francisco State University

Tonight was the first meeting of ITEC830 with Dr. Kim Foreman. It sounds like this will be a great class that will better inform my creative work project for the Design and Industry Department.
I'm also currently enrolled in DAI805 - Graduate Seminar in New Media with Assistant Professor Paul Catanese and even in this first week of classes I can see how it will better inform my learning in the ITEC class.
Curiously, one of the first readings, As We May Think by Vannevar Bush (1945) discusses the creation and indexing of personal data and the need for combining of that data to make a larger accessible knowledge base. This idea is apparently being discussed as a possible theory of learning - connectivism. I will have to go learn more about this proposed theory.
