Drape's Takes

As you may or may not know, I am currently taking two doctoral classes (Qualitative Research Methods and Educational Leadership) amid other efforts of balancing work, family life, and other personal endeavors. As a result, the time I'd normally spend blogging has been spent in other writing. During the last week or so, for example, I've been completing a brief (definitely non-comprehensive) literature review in an attempt to further study how online social networks can be utilized to enhance teacher professional development.

If you're interested in seeing what I've been up to academically, use the new poll that I've recently published on this blog's sidebar.

You've got one week to decide (or one week to fudge with the results, depending on how you look at it).

Last week, Ed Bott hosted an interesting poll on his ZDNet blog regarding digital ethics. The poll, entitled "When is it OK to copy digital media," has received a fair share of attention from his readers. I thought it would be interesting to see where we (as primarily an educational technology community) stand on these issues - especially in comparison to the readers of Ed's blog. Anyway, here's my version of the poll (ten quick questions). Have at it, feel free to share, and we'll see how we stack up.
