H2O2 and U of MO
Written on May 7, 2009 by Katherine W. Prawl
No, the University of Missouri (“Mizzou”) really doesn’t have anything to do with hydrogen peroxide, but when I phoned my parents just now to tell them I’ve been accepted into the graduate program there (in the School of Journalism), Dad said they were already celebrating another milestone. It seems he (on behalf of a client) had just obtained the first permit ever issued by the state of Florida to build a hydrogen peroxide-augmented water treatment plant. So, on my first day as a new journalism student, I have a scoop!
The degree I’m embarking on is taught entirely online, so I’m sure I will encounter many new aspects of educational technology to write about here. And while the Mizzou J-school is very Apple-centric, maybe this week’s announcement of the new Kindle DX by Amazon.com portends things to come in the realm of e-textbooks, too. I’ve already used Kindle for iPhone to buy one of the required textbooks for my first class, and bought another one using Stanza on the iPhone, so in LOLcats parlance, “Wired? I is.”
