New Coursework

I am starting two new classes at Walden University this week in my quest to get my Ph.D. in Educational Technology. One is Integrating Technology in the Classroom. I always call my technology class--the easy one. I learn so much and really enjoy the topics. The other class is Educational Measurement. I looked this morning and found out that our first group project concerns value added scores in Tennessee. As one of two students from Tennessee, I may be called upon to be knowledgeable about this topic. But then again--as a librarian--I do not have value added scores. Any comments about value added and how it helps or hinders you would be appreciated.
