FETC-Full Sail Notes

Full sail notes:
just another tech to work program.
NOT in the same vein as OMET
not educationally innovative
As a contrasting experience it may have been worthwhile. Certainly there were indicators that this school was "hot' but not that it was really innovative or demonstrated anything we see in OMET
Certainly I can find things that apply-but believe me I can do the same with just about anything.
incl. watching someone make a sandwich-because for me OMET is about life education. technology is a misunderstood and ignored part of our global life.
no gre no real admission process
If OMET limited itself to being just another tech-heavy program it wouldn't be as useful and would in a few years fade into "fad-dom"
This schools insistence on the hottest tech is just an attempt to stay ahead of the inevitable curve of obsolescence that dooms all such concrete materialistic endeavors to eventual failure.
The "Play-doh" approach.
my personal view of Omet is a reach for something more; something more constructivist, that works toward development and reflections of the abstracts of both social and learning research and ourselves; teaching us to develop them to a "malleable concretism" that we can use today and continue to mold as necessary for tomorrow.
Not all bad tough-some points:
ave points system.
real world tech.
top of the line equipment.
multi faceted approach all
all field areas explored**
historical training in obsolete included.
experimenting with a school to community approach
internship program.
Work for local stations-on the job training.
return to school as long as in the industry to re-train in new or updated software/HW.
Generally:
**more about the technology than the education.
hottest, newest most expensive.
more about the job aspect/training and real world experience
providing "cross-curriculum" and thus "global" education in only an industry specific way.
