I looked into the paper on motivation, and I think I just might use a piece of this for my discussion tomorrow. We are overlooking motivation and along with this: student autonomy, competence, and interest. The very things that tell us that we are human.

I have been hearing more and more from parents of upper elementary and middle schoolers who have children that are incredibly motivated by technology use. I know we've talked about this before, but I continue to be intrigued by parents insisting their kids enjoy reading from a Kindle or iPad so much more than a paper book. They describe their children, who typically have showed little interest in reading, as "unable to put the Kindle down until the book is done". I wonder if the affect wears off after awhile? Is it the novelty, or because the younger generation relates to these tech tools?
