Autonomy, Mastery, Purpose: The Science of What Motivates Us, Animated | Making Meaning Together | Scoop.it

"When the profit motive gets unmoored from the purpose motive, bad things happen."
Features a 10 min RSA Animate:
In Drive, Pink goes on to illustrate why the traditional carrots-and-sticks paradigm of extrinsic reward and punishment doesn’t work, pointing instead to his trifecta of intrinsic motivators: Autonomy, or the desire to be self-directed;Mastery, or the itch to keep improving at something that’s important to us; andPurpose, the sense that what we do produces something transcendent or serves something meaningful beyond than ourselves.

Digital Literacy is Good, but Fluency is Better

Digital Literacy is Good, but Fluency is Better | Making Meaning Together | Scoop.it
If you want to understand digital fluency, consider what it takes to be fluent in a language.
Joseph McCaleb's insight:

"To be truly fluent in a foreign language, you must be able to articulate a complex idea or tell an engaging story; in other words, you must be able to 'make things' with language. Analogously, being digitally fluent involves not only knowing how to use technology, but also knowing how to construct things of significance with those tools."

Deanya Lattimore's curator insight, May 14, 7:44 AM

I think if departments reviewed their faculty, it would become clear to them which teachers should *not* be forced into using technology in the classroom.  Questionably, if those teachers cannot teach the assigned material any longer, they may be driven to learn it in order to keep their jobs, but honestly, if teachers don't possess these traits in today's world, the only thing they should probably be driven to is a different job....

"Creating your own PLN can be as organic and informal as you like. Some people crave a more structured atmosphere and so seek out the support of an actual coach, while others build their own network of resources devoted to a specific topic. There are all sorts of coaching and mentoring experiences available and social media offers a plethora of options for building, creating, and connecting with the right folks. You can join Facebook groups as well as Google+ Communities. . .
