Mr. Ed Cabellon is currently the Assistant to the Vice President for Student Affairs at Bridgewater State University, and has over 18 years of progressive experience in higher education administration. Ed's blog has been named to Ed Tech's "Dean's List" each of the last three years, and while his site has been quieter this past year due to the completion of his doctoral coursework, traffic continues to flow to his site which was cited in two recently published books: "Engaging Students through Social Media" by Dr. Rey Junco and "Making Change Happen in Student Affairs" by Margaret J. Barr, George S. McClellan, and Arthur Sandeen. Ed believes that understanding one’s digital identity and gaining literacy in technology should be part of the core curriculum in a 21st century Liberal Arts education; that every enrolled college student should have access to high speed internet at home while matriculated; and that the most powerful learning happens when it is peer to peer.

Sometimes these thoughts will not be fully formulated and will seem a bit under-researched but it’s my intention to work and revise some of these posts into some thing more substantial over a period of time.
