5 unit five teach the teacher_web 2.0 technologyLouisCabuhat
Digital media (technology) has very important implications for learning. Technology has, inarguably, become woven into everyday living. In fact, it is hard to imagine a world void of technology. The Internet (Worldwide Web) is a great example of just how access to information touches and shapes our lives. Social media is used for communication. Online video conferencing bridges gaps. And, Wi-Fi technology currently provides access to information like never seen before. The Unit Five weekly activity is intended to connect learning, personal motive and technology so that behaviors are shaped. The goal is to demonstrate just how digital media can be leveraged by an instructor in the classroom to reveal a connection between motivation and Slideshare.com for learning.
Teach the teacher achievement (unit four)LouisCabuhat
The literature on attrition suggests that learners who underestimate their ability to succeed in college-level courses become easily disillusioned once failure occurs. The key to avoiding this example of cognitive dissonance (Miller & Tanner, 2011) is to anchor achievement strategies to realistic goal-setting. The literature suggests that students who experience cognitive dissonance are more likely to dropout (Miller & Tanner, 2011). Furthermore, the unpleasurable experience of dropping out of school is manifested emotionally. However, studies show that students who are successful in managing their emotions and relationships and impulse control are more likely to persist to graduation (Allen & Lester, 2012).
So, how do you measure achievement?
