When a big thunder storm is coming there are signs. The air pressure drops, the wind picks up, the sky darkens. If you look you can see the Storm Front approaching. Something like that is happening now with Education. Big changes are approaching. We can all feel it. In this blog I will try to lay out what I think is about to happen.
My name is Andrew Barras (aka Crudbasher). I am a User Experience Designer at Full Sail University. I have been a 3d Modeler, Computer Programmer, Web Designer, and Professor over the last 15 years. I was making Military Simulations before I could legally drink! (that was a disadvantage). Now I am adding Educational Futurist to my skill set. I have a BS in Digital Arts and Design and my Masters in Education Media Design & Technology, both from Full Sail University.
This is my personal blog. I do not, in any way, represent my employer.
Thanks! I agree with you one hundred percent! You articulated your points well and I am excited to share your thinking in my school district.

Hi Trace,
Your presentation is really good work! I like that you came up with a way to quantify the system that works with the various incarnations we have seen so far. I’m applying it to my work on how it might evolve and mutate in the future.
Thanks for commenting!!
