This is going to be a phenomenal semester and I can hardly wait to begin. We have many exciting activities planned, including an online scavenger hunt and an online library murder mystery. The UTB librarian and I have been "plotting" the demise of one Simon P. Ano - and you are going to play cyber detective to find the culprit. In addition, we will have a number of excellent guest speakers, including at least one of the authors of your textbook. It will be a fast-pased and exciting semester. Here's hoping you learn volumes and have fun doing it.

I look forward to hearing all of you in Wimba.

My name is Michael (Mike) Brown and I am already excited about this class and what we are going to experience together over the next few months. I am retired from the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (Texas' prison system) and have a background in criminal justice.I graduated from UTA with a BA in Criminology. I have worked as a consultant to agencies, businesses, and churches in the past and have a desire to help others be successful. I entered the M.Ed. in Educational Technology program because of my interest in helping people learn in the most effective way possible. I am scheduled to graduate from this program in May of this year.

I have a beautiful wife of 35 years, 6 kids (all grown) and a bunch of grandkids. I also am the Associate Pastor of a local congregation here in Snyder, Texas where I live. I recognize many of you as my former classmates over the past two years and I am anticipating getting to know many of you better and meeting some of you for the first time. The course syllabus looks really interesting and I am ready to go!
