As we come closer to the wonderful time when we can purchase a cap and gown and make the LSTE program just a distant memory, I have begun to ponder the inevitable question: Now what?
Now that we have grasped all of this well-earned knowledge, what do I expect to do with all of this information. In the field that we have chosen, like many others related to technology, we must "use it or lose it". So where do we go from here? As pioneers in the field of technology in education, I believe it is our responsibility to at least make an attempt to lead the way to a better learning environment, a better school or even a better staff. But how do we get there and what is the path we follow to influence our individual parts of the world? That is an excellent question I do not feel quite qualified to answer, so I have included some links to answer ( or at least provide some insight) that.

I have included a few links that I hope will appeal to those in different fields to include corporate training, higher education and k-12 education. Best of luck to all as we become the subject matter experts on educational technology.
Great post! I think I have a year left for my LSTE degree, but I know how I felt when I got my School Counselor and Leadership M.ed. Actually utilizing the degree is the big worry. Your sites were very useful.
