Well, I have learned how to post a blog since last class. i have never posted a blog or even read one, so this is a fun and new thing for me. i dont know why people have blogs... outside class. iIguess for discussions, im still a little confused. i dont really want stuff posted about me for everyone to read and im wondering who ever reads them, maybe i wil find this info out after the next class!!!
After trudging sthrough the text i learned that the ARCS model is pretty great, but not just all about digital students. The concepts of Attention, Relevance, Challenge/Confidence, and Satisfaction/Success can and should be applied to everyone and every student. I guess in the next few years or maybe already today all students are considered digital students. I think this motivational model is essential to being a great teacher. A teacher who kids remember and are shaped by.
The section on mobile computers was interesting. A watch with internet access is a little extreme but for some people internet access if that important. One of my friends just got a handheld computer/phone. I dont know how he types on it but its pretty neat. i teased him for a while about the phone but even now i break down sometimes and have him look something up online for me or check my facebook!!
