In chapter five I learned a lot about both Digital Media Applications as well as Educational Software Application. As far as media applications some of the things that stood out to me most were that many digital media applications are used for edutainment, which I have never heard of until I read this book and this chapter. Edutainment is an experience meant to be both educational and entertaining which is basically a blend of the two big things in my life. Also in media applications virtual reality is one thing that has always fascinated me throughout my entire life. I love 3D movies for example and the futureistic games they have at some arcades. In educational software applications one thing that I learned that I didn't know was that digital media applications enrich the learning process by providing individualized instruction and exploration.
Since our last posting I definitely learned a lot about forms and how to make them. Before our last assignment I had never made and sort of form like that before and I found it interesting to not only be able to make one but to also see the other ones that people had made previously.
This week for me so far has been extremely stressful as far as school goes I have had lots of test and homework and on top of all that it is initation week for my sorority so that is pretty stressfull as well. I know that is will all be worth it though especially when I am officially a sister of Alpha Delta Pi!
