 Ocotillo Position Paper 1: Quality of Learning
"The 1997 Learning @ Maricopa.edu document really asked us simply to have a dialogue yet it recognized the significance of having more than a conversation to make learning "our common denominator." Therefore, we are empowered to continue to search for meaning and action in what the Learning document recognized as a transformational journey."

Ocotillo Position Paper 2: Future of Technology in the Classroom
"Our Colleges teach a wide variety of subjects and consequently find a single design for a classroom would be impossible. Three configurations were identified as possible models: Basic, Advanced and Computer Classrooms. The designs are distinguished by the amount technology used in the room and the ability to be reconfigured."

Ocotillo Position Paper 3: Learning Management Systems
"Maricopa needs to re-address its LMS/CMS options. In summary, we want improved instructional capabilities, easy-to-use without being so labor-intensive/tedious for the user, scalability/reliability to accommodate our rapidly growing student populations, expanded administrative capability, compatible/portable content, and pricing that won't drive us out of the market.

Milleanials Rising
By Neil Howe and William Strauss. The newest book by the authors who brought the 'GenX' generation to light: "A decade ago, in Generations, Strauss and Howe predicted many of the youth trends America is beginning to see today. Now, in Millennials Rising, the authors show how today's teens are recasting the image of youth from downbeat and alienated to upbeat and engaged. The authors also show
how Millennials are held to higher standards than adults apply to themselves ... how they're a lot less violent, vulgar, and sexually charged than the teen culture older people are producing for them ... how, over the next decade, they'll entirely recast what it means to be young ... and how, in time, they could emerge as the next great generation.
