Before taking the Principles of Distance Education class, I would say that I was about a 4 on the STATIC-DYNAMIC CONTINUUM.  I have been working with educational technology for a long time, and I would have said that I thought this was good.  After having taken this class, I am about an 8.5.  I am still stuck to STATIC a little bit, but I am seeing the importance of providing and using DYNAMIC tools for the students to learn. I have also found that I must be knowledgeable and skilled at using any technology tool that I bring into my curriculum, and the students must also be adept at learning online and at a distance.
