I can relate Danae. I am struggling w/ the same questions as
you are only about Walden University. They have a master's
degree program that I want to study and are only about 3 in
the nation to offer it. It's a MS in Instructional Design and
Technology w/ an emphasis on Online Learning. It's the Online
Learning part that seperates it from everyone else. However,
like you, I have the same hesitation. Not very many people
have heard of Walden, although I have been extremely
impressed w/ their enrollment counselors. They are awesome!
What have you decided or found out? I am leaning towards just
choosing Walden because I would rather study something I am
very interested in if I am going to be doing a gazillion
papers and working hard towards a degree. Plus I guess, in a
way, it can't hurt you, but just might not put you ahead in
the job applications for example if you chose one of the Ivy
League schools for your master's. What are your thoughts? Are
you currently teaching? What does your district say about
it? I would love to hear if and what you decided or any
other feedback you have received! Also...you can call your
state certification center and check to make sure they will
accept a degree from that school. That is what I did for my
NE recertification. Just an idea for ya! Thanks!
