CMS Presentations

I learned many things from all of the presentations and thought that each one was unique and creative. Personally, I think that everyone who presented tonight should receive an "A+".

"Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn." -- Benjamin Franklin

I love this quote since it reminds me that students retain if they are involved in the learning experience.

Motivated!

“Motivating gets you going and habit gets you there.  Make motivating a habit and you will get there more quickly and have more fun on the trip.” ~ Zig Ziglar

This quote brings to mind the importance of developing good habits, in fact, the author suggests to “make motivating a habit”.  What a fresh and inspirational idea! 

                                   -------------------------------------------------

It was great that we were given the opportunity to work on our CMS in-class tonight.  I felt a bit motivated to finally see my CMS materialize and now feel that I am somewhat one fourth into personalization.  In addition, the momentum of motivation followed since I got a jump-start towards the beginning of the tedious assignment of developing our Personal Technology Blog.  Well folks, it looks as if though I should continue this coursework by subscribing to the above mentioned quote, and that is to “make motivating a habit” so that I will reach target at the given dead line!

Class Reflection

Tonight, I really appreciated the time for going over the assignments. I am more sure of what is expected and my anxiety has been relieved. I know, now that I fully understand what I am required to complete and that I am heading in the right direction. This makes for a more positive outlook with my assignments. Thank you ED 638 class for your patience, your support and your encouragement

My Quote of the Day

"Whatever task you undertake, do it with your heart and soul. Always, be courteous, never be discouraged. Beware of him who promises something for nothing. Do not blame anybody for your mistakes and failures. Do not look for approval except the consciousness of doing your best."
Bernard Mannes Baruch

I strongly agree with this quote I chose from Dr. Rivera. I needed to read this quote most especially on the part where it says never be discouraged. It's hard not to ever feel this way but no matter what we will get through all the challenges in life. There is never a problem without a solution. We are the one to blame ourselves for the choices we make and no one else. That's why it's important to always think smartly and do our best in life to be successful people.

Don't Give Up Too Soon!

"Nothing could be worse that the fear that one had given up too soon, and left one unexpended effort that might have saved the world." Jane Adams

This quote means that I will never know and always wonder that I could have done someone or something some good if I had tried a little bit harder and not given up too soon. The goal is to give your best in every situation and don't throw in the towel too quickly.

"Seemingly Hopeless"

Quote: "Most of the important things in the world have been accomplished by people who have kept on trying when there seemed to be no hope at all." Dale Carnegie

My interpretation of this quote is that people accomplish great things by continuing toward their goals or dreams. They have this inner drive that keeps them going even though it seems like they're on a winding road which leads to no where. Despite how difficult or how long the road was they didn't give up! With continued effort, they eventually made some progress which lead to more progress! The world would be a different place if people gave up easily!

Enthusiasm!

"The worst bankrupt in the world is the man who has lost his enthusiasm. Let a man lose everything else in the world but his enthusiasm and he will come through again to success."
Try to find the bright side of everything that's difficult!
