post #1

After reading chapter 1 I found that computers are a necessity in today's classrooms. the ARCS Motivational Model captures students attention using alternative techniques while remaining relevant to them, this leads to increased learning. This success promotes self confidence. Before reading chapter 1 I considered computers in classroom more for gaming than actual learning.

Since my last posting i have learned the relevance of technology in and outside of a classroom setting. I have also learned how to post a blog as well as the proper way to make up a test or quiz for my future students.

I can't believe i just spent $117 on a book I am only going to look at for six weeks of my life, we can't even sell them back!!! This Sucks I could have bought an outfit for that much and wear it for a year!!!!!

I also thought the same thing when I the book too. But look at this way that's a small price to pay for in the end when you learn more skills and get credits.
