[Expand Summary]
This article documents an organizational odyssey. It traces the evolution of masters’ level programming in educational leadership offered by the University of Nevada Las Vegas as it moved from qualitatively traditional to technologically sophisticated. As is true in most quests, an extended period of time and a significant degree of professional “soul searching” were involved. As this reexamination process continued, the character of society at large and the educational environment in particular were also evolving. During the early 1990’s children of the millennium generation (Gen M) first appeared on the American scene, the earliest generation born in the “digital age.” Their worldview was to be heavily influenced by “ubiquitous technology,” an environment replete with all manner of sophisticated modes of communication. Gen M youngsters quickly mastered the use of iPod’s, cell phones, Digital Video Disk Players, text messaging, instant web messaging, blogging, digital video and digital photography, and the worldwide connectivity of the high speed internet. As they grew, these young persons accepted as natural and permanent capabilities that those of earlier generations viewed as phenomenal technological advances.
