enterprise architecture frameworks

Here is a link to a KWL chart regarding Enterprise Architecture Frameworks.  While I am still getting my feet wet with learning about EA, it is beginning to feel less and less foreign.  This week I read about the standard frameworks for EA that have been adopted as business models.  As I read about them they seemed complicated and foreign, but I think it is mostly because these are frameworks that are applied to specific business models.  I went through the assignment of choosing one framework to overlay my school district onto, and in that process it seems like I began to gain more clarity.  It was a good exercise in application.  I'm sure I'm way off in how my district would actually organize the architecture, but at least I have a feel for looking at the organization as a whole and imagining a workflow and organizational flow that is based on the vision and mission of the district.  This week's assignment was very helpful.  I still have much more to learn.  Looking forward to it!  :)
