Chapter 3 (Januszewski & Molenda)

In this chapter the authors spokes about how education technology can improve or everyday career as a whole. As well as how we can help others to utilize these skills more by recommending that we provide activities before, during and after training to make it more likely that they will use these skills in their career. The authors also discussed the many ways they can improve productivity with the use of technology as "technology has the potential to improve both efficiency and effectiveness" they go on to discuss the use of soft technologies, instructional interventions and distance education as other aspect of improvement. All of which are great ideas and more than ever in my opinion can dramatically improve any level of education, knowledge and skills. In my opinion I have seen and have experience most of these technology at its best and at times at its worst. I have more so experience distance education of which is becoming more and more a hugh hit to many colleges and universities as it's flexibilities are able to accommodate the full-time workers like myself to continue their education form almost any where in the world as long as you have a computer and internet access. Great chapter as I was able to relate and share more of a personal experience.
