  • What students are really motivated by are opportunities to be social — to interact around challenging concepts in powerful conversations with their peers.
  • Technology’s role in today’s classroom, then, isn’t to motivate. It’s to give students opportunities to efficiently and effectively participate in motivating activities built around the individuals and ideas that matter to them.
