The Red Balloon Attempts Liftoff.

Craig Bernthal

Red Balloon apparently is our future. It is going to retool education for the 21st century. I don't know much about it, except that Fresno State is on board, and that after the events of the last several months, we'd better start cramming. 

I found my way to the Red Balloon Site in Academic Affairs, and to Dr. George L. Mehaffy's kick-off 
Red Balloon power point presentation. A short way into the slides, I hit one that proclaimed:

"Technology Changes Everything."

You can see this at:


Deciding that a power point by itself wouldn't be as good as Mehaffy's whole speech, I backtracked on the FSU Academics Site, until I found "View the Video." I mouse-clicked on "Dr. Mehafy Provides and Overview" and was connected to a window that said, "Servor Error in '/' Application. The resource cannot be found." 

Have fun and try it yourself. See if you can find the red balloon:


Yup. Technology, like money, changes everything.
