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?

Mary Perfitt-Nelson's insight:

My daughter is Director of Community Service for her HS student government. Her committee had to come up with a fundraiser for Common Ground (http://commongroundhelps.org/). Their idea was accepted: each teacher will have a piggy bank in their classroom. Students can donate money. The teacher who raises the most money will be "kidnapped" for the day and the student government will pay for their substitute. The teacher will be able to have the entire day available for learning and planning.

Very cool way to raise money AND give teachers more time to do their job well.
