from the article: "...students don't think of programming as a whole separate world the way older adults tend to, but as a tool they can use to explore their interests."

Check out this edtech start-up: I spoke to the founder today, and their philosophy sounds like it's right out of T-545. It's all about promoting intrinsic motivation for positive classroom behaviors and increasing kids' engagement through technology and immediate feedback.

David Rose featured this in a 560 lecture and I spoke a little about how I use it at homeschool. I don't use the negative behavior options and D.
