Hi all, Just a quick note to let you know that if you are planning on graduating in December, the deadline for Graduation Applications is fast approaching (September 15, 2011).   If you're not sure of how much you have yet to finish, you should look over the new M.Ed. in Ed Tech Program of Study (POS)...   http://www2.nau.edu/edtech/site/programs/master_new-2011.html   ...and compare it with your transcript.    Remember, it is your choice to use the new POS.  You just can't use some of it and some of a past POS.   If you have questions, please don't hesitate to contact your advisor.
