Not all kids are equally motivated. Students vary tremendously in their motivation, even at an early age. Here is a baker's dozen of motivational strategies that can re-ignite the motivational flame.

Teaching students to self-regulate their use.
Interesting article: ". Students that use social media from an early age learn to view it as more than just a distraction"
question: educators who minimize employability: % who have kids? yes...........when I leave the Earth, I really need to know my kids will be able to feed themselves, Desire to learn and lifelong learning? That was my job. Incorporating THAT into their education is their job.

I think this article applies to teaching social video game design as well. The task is finding the time to uncover the right social media teaching strategies. Delete the scoop?

How often do you struggle with a student, trying to motivate them to be engaged? The author of this post states "I pirate much of my thinking about motivation, kids’ achievement and success in life from my work with young, elite soccer players." He goes on to say that motivation that is found with young soccer players is also found with students in the classroom, that it "makes a real difference." He also provides a short historical background before sharing 13 motivational techniques, with explanations that explain why some techniques do not work for some children.
