Are kids really motivated by technology? | SmartBlogs SmartBlogs - 6 views

  • While kids may initially love technology-inspired lessons in schools simply because they are different from the paper-driven work that tends to define traditional classrooms, the novelty of new tools wears off a lot quicker than digital cheerleaders like to admit.
  • 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.
