Engagement.

So for the final week of engagement i focused more on tuition in California, mostly research and the effects. Sadly all i found was articles that increased tuition and my efforts from last week were simply ignored, a brand new twitter messaging and tweeting feels like i am not speaking to anyone.  Using the Tagboard i found other articles about reform of the education system would put more on the taxpayer. While the article is a year old I feel that someone will eventually have to pay for education and this may not be the right choice but it is a new option to a flawed system. Thank you Vannesa Mcmurray for an interesting article.  The biggest thing i found was the open education system that is being introduced by the office of education technology GoOpen, it may not be about higher education but it is about bringing down the private schooling system and allowing more people to access it. this model has the potential to become a model in some schools accross the nation.  Also the Power of social media that affects the world with what happen back in october in south Africa with very large scale protest over tuition and the communication that had with students from UC Berkeley. While i havent seen the most response about social media and its effects i do see the power it does have.
