Computer Software Applications in Education

• Authoring Systems

An authoring system helps teachers develop their own instructional software. Teachers can create electronic flash cards or index cards to teach children about certain concepts. Also, they can create multimedia content like reviews, lessons, and tutorials. You may even consider web based alternatives because web authoring systems assist teachers in creating multimedia content that can be used on a website.

• Desktop Publishing

Desktop publishing software is used to create and design handouts, newsletters, and flyers. Teachers can use this software to inform parents and students about events or activities taking place in school. Usage of desktop publishing software is a must-have skill for new graduates, and so high schools are already teaching students how to use desktop publishing suites such as Microsoft Office and Adobe Creative Suite.

• Graphic Software

Students can use graphic software to capture, create, and change images available on the internet, on the program itself, or images available online. It is especially useful for creating online presentations.

• Reference Software

Teachers can include reference software in research projects. Reference software let’s students access the encyclopedia, thesauruses, atlases, and dictionaries.

• Drill & Practice Software

Teachers can include drill and practice software to strengthen the existing skill set of the students. This software is beneficial when teachers are trying to prepare students for exams and tests.

• Tutorial Software

The 10 Qualities of a Total Winner

The Psychology of Winning

Denis Waitley

The 10 Qualities of a Total Winner

Quality 1:  Positive Self-Expectancy 
"Life is a self fulfilling prophecy. True winners go into every event expecting to win."
 Positive self-expectancy is pure and simple optimism real enthusiasm for everything you do and optimism is expecting the most favorable result from your own actions.There never was a winner who didn’t expect to win in advance. Winners understand that life is a self-fulfilling prophecy and they know that you usually get what you expect in the long run. So winners accept the belief that hope and a deep unbreakable faith forged into a fundamental attitude of positive self-expectancy is the eternal spring from which all creative motivating energy flows.

Quality 2: Positive Self-Motivation 
"True winners dig deep and find motivation inside themselves to get through that tough task or to learn a new skill."
Sometimes your motivation is hidden from your consciousness  your own personal hidden agenda.  Your motivation may well change from hour-to-hour or day-to-day and through life.  As this happens your needs, wants and goals change and evolve.

Quality 3: Positive Self-Image

True winners are confident and view themselves as competent, valuable human beings.

Self image is how you see yourself. This may be how you see yourself physically or your opinion of who and what you are which is normally called self concept. It is important as it affects your self esteem and confidence.Self Esteem is how you feel about yourself. Image is about how you see yourself and how you believe others see you. They are closely connected because if you have a poor opinion of yourself your self esteem will be low.

Quality 4: Positive Self-Direction

You gotta have direction if you are going to go anywhere. True winners know where they are going. Their sense of direction comes from the self and not from outside influences like parents or friends.

Quality 5: Positive Self-Control
Total winners can sacrifice immediate pleasure for a gain in the future. Delayed gratification is of immense value in reaching your goals.

Self-control is the quality that allows you to stop yourself from doing things you want to do but that might not be in your best interest.Self-control is like a muscle.Self-Control is the thinking skill that helps children learn to control their feelings and behaviors in order to make good decisions, while aiding in reducing impulsive actions and dealing effectively with frustration. For example, a child may use Self-Control when encountering a difficult problem on a test. Rather than impulsively writing down any answer, they are able to control their anxiety and figure out the answer.

Quality 6: Positive Self-Discipline
You have to discipline yourself or else someone else will discipline you into doing what they want you to do. Total winners have the power to discipline and take control of their lives.
It may be hard to believe when you’re facing a hot-fudge sundae or the prospect of sleeping in versus hitting the gym, but studies show that people with self-discipline are happier.People with a higher degree of self-control spend less time debating whether or not to indulge in behaviors that are detrimental to their health, and are able to make positive decisions more easily. They don’t let impulses or feelings dictate their choices. Instead, they make level-headed decisions. As a result, they tend to feel more satisfied with their lives.

Quality 7: Positive Self-Esteem
Your mood and outlook on life affect the way you see the world and how you interact in it. Total winners are positive, powerful people who make people feel good and provide a good vibe to those around him/her.
Improving your self-image, like improving any skill, takes time and practice. Developing good self-esteem involves encouraging a positive but realistic attitude toward yourself and the world around you and appreciating your worth, while at the same time behaving responsibly towards others. Self-esteem isn't self-absorption; it's self-respect.By working from the inside out focusing on changing your own way of thinking before changing the circumstances around you, you can build your self-esteem. The goal of this positive thinking is to give yourself a more positive self-concept, while seeing yourself honestly and accepting yourself, and removing the internal barriers that can keep you from doing your best.

Quality 8: Positive Self-Dimension

Total winners like in the present. They know that now is all there is. They don’t get caught up in the past or worry about the future. They simply handle the business that they can handle which is the stuff going on today, now.

Quality 9: Positive Self-Awareness
Total winners are aware of their power. They understand that they can be anything with enough effort and determination.

Self-awareness is the ability to be cognizant of one’s lived experiences, thoughts, and abilities. While self-awareness is something that most humans have the capacity for (and is sometimes considered a major distinction between humans and other animals), self-awareness can be used specifically in counseling sessions to help both the therapist and client.

Quality 10: Positive Action

Total winners take positive action in their business and with their friends and family. They are uplifting and motivating individuals who inspire the best from themselves and other
