John M. Keller noticed the lack of verve in young students. Most students are simply learning enough to pass the test. This is a way of learning that I can relate to. Until this year, I was a student who was just learning to pass. While in Hospitality, I knew that the majority of what I needed to know would be from hands on experience. Therefore, I was only in school to get my degree and did not care about learning. I didn't really retain much knowledge from my classes until this year. The education departments enthusiasm has again taught me the joys of learning. When I become a teacher I too hope to instill the joy of learning into the hearts of my students. I will do this by using ARCS motivational model.
Since my last post I have refreshed my memory on how to use the SAM software. Luckily, since I already used this software I didn't have to install it in my computer (it's already there!).
My step-niece came into town this past weekend for the holiday! I revisited the Museum of Natural History and science...long, dumb name. Formerly known as the Junior Museum. I had a wonderful weekend spent with family and hope that everyone traveled safely and had a blast!!

I'm not sure how I feel about your evil laugh... a little scary to be honest, lol. What kind of music do you play/listen to?
oooh, how is that museum? I've been here two years and never visited.
I used to go to the Junior Museum all the time when I was young! Did she like it?
Sarah- I just noticed that it is Wednesday, and time for our Post#3 to be due...and you haven't done it yet. So, here I am commenting on Post "2" and saying that you indeed are lame- however, that despite your lameness, the Junior Museum is still very very cool. : )
