Orientation Attribute Maps and Socrative Presentations

On March 26th, class started with a Socrative presentation delivered by graduate student Melissa Krupp.  It was so good to see her! I have always liked her presentations.  I find her to be extremely smart and enjoyable to watch and listen.  She provides good information, gives nice examples, and puts a spark of humor which makes her presentation more interesting.  I heard of Socrative before, but I didn't know that there is a smartphone application.  It is a great tool, and I believe that it is something that can be used at my place of employment.  The training manager, for example, could use it at the end of seminars and workshops to see how much employees learned.  I could also use it myself after giving the new hire orientation to make sure that they know exactly which paperwork it is required from them to have their pension and health benefits established.  I also think that students can use the application among each other when getting together to study for a test.  They can do a great review and I am certain that they can recollect more information when taking their exam.

Also, the orientation attribute maps were presented on this night.  My classmates brought different and interesting products.  We came up to the conclusion that adult learners like to apply any type of knowledge of skill learned right away.  They like doing it this way because they believe is going to help them to have a more effective life in the future.  They are also more like problem-centered than subject-centered.
