__**Today - Blog post - 2 quotes**__

"If you always do what you always did, you'll always get what you always got."

"Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results."

Insert these two quotes into blog - put each in a quote box. Find out who is credited with the quote. Note in blog the source.

Write a reflection on what this two quotes mean to you and your life. Is it enough to "want" something really intensely? Will desire "make it happen"?

**First one** - Recall a time when you were really motivated for awhile - weeks or months. D escribe the situation. What helped you maintain that motivation? What roles did others around you play?
 * Two blog posts today ** - both on __//**Motivation**//__


 * Second one** - Describe a situation that lasted for an extended period of time when you were fairly unmotivated. What factors seemed to lead to your being unmotivated??

Yesterday you were in a small group assembling a puzzle. **Blog Post** :
 * · Please describe the steps you took to put the puzzle together. (order and detail – steps)
 * · At 10 minutes in, your team got the picture of the assembled puzzle. Did it help? Was it faster after receiving the picture?
 * · In life, does having a picture of what you are trying to accomplish help?
 * · Did folks on your team do different tasks? Did one person take charge? Did you feel part of the team? Elaborate.

**Comp Apps and Info** About Me Power Point Please open and save this file to your H drive. You will be using your ICE journal and charts for this! The guideline on Power Point slides is 7 by 7 MAX. No more than 7 "bullets" and no more than 7 words per bullet. Since a number of your slides are 2 column, this could be scaled down to 4 by 4 or 5 by 5. DO NOT attempt to write sentences in here. Use key words, phrases. YOU the presenter talk in sentences, the slides show the viewer images and key ideas. (Recall the guy on the video with the pictures - none of his slides had words - all images that made his words and ideas richer and more vivid!!!!) You may use the Notes pages at the bottom of each slide to record what you want to say.
