Professor Joe welcomed all to the course and reviews his contact lists and protocols for the class. He made an agreement to go briefly on the instruction and to refer us to the archive of what needs to be completed, for the literature review. Joe attempted to place the link into the content box and his self-fulfilling prophecy of being booted off the system, happened.
Late work being accepted is at Professor Joe’s discretion.
He explained that by clicking the GPS assignment was intended to flip the perspective of a punitive situation, to one’s idea of construction and being aware of global professional standards. Professor Joe continued to explain his dashboard, the links within the activities and discussion boards.
Action Research:
To hand in a copy to Roxanne, the Literature Review in order to prepare for the month 12 final presentation.
The Status report rubric:
The objective is to have the Literature Review is ready for month 12.
The grade is an adaptive grade, that allows for a grade to move forward onto the 12th month.
I am not your traditional student follow the journey that Full Sail has to offer. In the past, I chose not to hand in assignments as I felt they were not up to the quality that I wanted to submit. Therefore I chose to take classes over again, as I am enrolled in this program to learn, for myself; not for a requirement, not for direct advancement in pay, and simply for me wanting to learn 21st century technologies and how to implement them in my classroom. I agree with the Art of Possibilities, in chapter three when the book states “grades say little about the work done”. I like to focus on constructive criticism and how to improve my practice and or learning environment. I am in no rush to click buttons and pretend I know what is going on. I would further argue that the deductions of most of my points are based in miscommunication on the assignments explained. As each teacher has a unique manner of delivery, and considering most of them have administered the information previously, I think that the instructors get caught up with the fact that they have a great understanding of what they want, and unfortunately it has not been fully delivered through the Full Sail FSO platform. This has been true with the different levels of support and expectations of the Action Research project. As I am a new cyber learner and it amazes me on how much is expected to be known as common knowledge in addition to the content of each course. I do not understand the rush, or bombardment of information.
Professor Joe is serious about deadlines with the ability to continue to modify the end product of the assignment as the course proceeds. He made it clear that he is here to help us through this process.

It's going to be an interesting month. I respect your choice to perform at a particular standard and to not do something just for the grade. it's a different kind of adventure that wanders all over the place and can lead to many an unexpected result. I look forward to seeing your work and the contributions you'll have to offer.
