Educational Facility Planning Introduction

This initial posting is for post-graduate students enrolled in my Saturday morning graduate class to prepare for the superintendency. This blog with be used in connection with Blackboard, the official on-line site for courses at Texas A&M University San Antonio. As professor I will use this site to introduce topics for discussion, websites to check out, observations, and in general, supplemental readings that are relevant. I will blog regularly and invite comments from the members of the class to each blog. Comments should be kept brief. This is an effort by the professor to integrate technology into teaching and to increase the intereactivity of the class. This is a emergent course design which ultimately should lead to greater and more effective use of official and unofficial uses of technology in teaching the course. The websites and articles used in this course will eventually be used to create an e-book for use in this new course at this new university in South Texas. The "Green" format has been selected to underscore a theme that has become central to 21st Century school facility planning.
