Being in the Millennial Generation, I did start using computers as a young child. I learned how to spell with the help of computers and how to read with computerized books. Computers have always been a part of my life, which is probably why I am so drawn to them. Dawn Cardenas College Success Student

Ice Breaker Questions
Some Instruction Strategies for Improving Self-Motivation
Think, Pair, Share • Think about one of your favorite teachers. • How were you motivated to be successful in this course?
You can motivate by fear. And you can motivate by reward. But both of these methods are only temporary. The only lasting thing is selfmotivation. Homer Rice, Football Coach
Research What enhances selfmotivation? From Barbara Gross, Tools for Teaching
Frequent, Early Feedback • Supports the student’s belief that they can do well
Share Good Work • Share samples of good work done in class.
Challenge Students • Not too easy • Not too difficult • Students have to believe success is possible (self-efficacy) • Provide early opportunities for success
