25. “If you are interested in something,
you will focus on it, and if you focus
attention on anything, it is likely that
you will become interested in it.
Many of the things we find
interesting are not so by nature, but
because we took the trouble of
paying attention to them.”
Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi
35. You should be teaching
adaptation. Take an activity and
change it a bit. Adapt it to the new
and you get iteration. The condition
is enabling students to another
situation, molding resources.
It is in the multimodality of CALL that
complex theory emerges.”
~ Diane Larsen-Freeman

A Mantra for GOOD LEARNING DESIGN
Transform your past sins into virtues.
Go from greed to simplicity.
Minimalism is good.
Pride no more. Steal like an artist.
The only greediness allowed is being avid for references.
Embrace influence.
Sloth should be exchanged by action.
Design learning experiences.
Two types of design: related to aesthetics, beauty, pleasure;the other is Instructional Design, which also brings joy and pleasure to the learning process. What do they have in common? Both if them is about pleasure and engagement.
Show my slides and how I have sinned; being greedy with content, transitions, animations, fonts,colors, background. Can you guess What My First Big sin is?
Ask them to get a piece of paper or the notes in their cellphones; one part, they put their sins down
