@WendyB831 Graduation was the perfect theme choice for this week’s topic, motivation! A final goal to work towards. I liked your question about potential opportunities to grow professionally. #almastermind

@bgeorgette_MAIT I really enjoyed your attribute for orientation! The image of someone applying what they know on the job was perfect. I also chose a question about applying learning to my daily life. #almastermind

@DifonzoLia97114 One of the 1st thoughts that I had about readiness was SpongeBob saying “I’m ready!”, your attribute theme is perfect! I like your question about mapping out the necessary time needed for success. #almastermind

@samanthajeanmc Thank you!

[A Torrance @MathIntegrATOR]

@WendyB831 I always enjoy your Attribute Maps! I love that the questions for Experience look like billboards on your “Road of Life”. Great questions for experience! #almastermind

@samanthajeanmc I really enjoyed this week’s attribute theme for self concept! I liked the added detail of having each player represent a different question about self-directed learning! #almastermind

[A Torrance @MathIntegrATOR]

@WendyB831 Your Concept Map Attribute immediately grabbed my attention! The faded background brings everything together into one complete visually appealing product. The questions that you chose all consider motivations of adult learners. Great job! #ALMastermind

[A Torrance @MathIntegrATOR]

@WendyB831 I thought your timeline created on Genially was very visually appealing & easy to follow the evolution in order! It was interesting to see when the promotion of the use of technology in learning began! #ALmastermind
