During our discussion of chapter one I learned about a new way of approaching education in the classroom it is called ARCS. I hadn't heard of the ARCS model until class on Wednesday, it really seems like a very good way to get students involved and attentive towards their work. I feel that the digital student would definitely relate to the ARCS model because in the digital era we are in today technology is in the center of all learning. Also the ISTE group is a great organization for our school systems in America today because they promote the use of technology in schools; I feel that is very important because some students may not be financially able to afford certain types of technology that can be provided at their school.
Since my last posting I have learned how to incorporate a picture of myself onto my blog. This was kind of a big deal for me because it’s different from the straight to the point copy and paste that I could usually do on any other project that involves a picture. I have also learned that I can adjust my tabs on Microsoft word something I had no idea about in the beginning. I am sure that there will be a lot more to learn about this program that I never knew before.
I enjoy learning new things especially things about technology that could possibly help make my life or my career a lot easier. But the one piece of technology I have yet to conquer is blue tooth I am highly interested in how it works other than as a hands free device we use with our cell phones because I am sure it does a lot more interesting things.
