The Puzzle of
Motivation, Diane Main, Google Sites, The Classroom of the Future.
Tonight’s class was very informative. We have the video:
“The Puzzle of Motivation” These are some ideas that make me reflect in my
daily life and to think about what
I want for my
students when I became a teacher.
Intrinsic motivation, the desire to do things because they
matter, autonomy, mastery and purpose. I really believe that if we want get
results for high performance around in education we need to be able to motivate
students and find the desire to do things that are important to them and to
find the way to direct their lives with a purpose. I like the video and the
ideas presented.
Diane Main presentation provided a lot of information. The
links provided on his site are very rich in information. One of the sites that
I checked was Google Lit Trips. This site is a great site in reference to
Literature. It has books that you can download providing information about the
characters from the books. The focus of this site is creating engaging and relevant literary
experiences for students. It has references for k to 12th
grade students in even for higher education. It is an excellent site to
continue exploring.
The classroom in the future is also a great site.
Moving Education Forward
“If we're going to change the world,
we need to start with education. Classroom in the Future attempts to
feature the ideas, tools, and inspirational materials in education in order to
help teachers drive change within their schools.”
It has very inspirational videos and
materials to support the teaching experience.
I like very much the video: “The
future is about thickeners”
Another video that I liked is the speech at the Stanford
commencement ceremony given by Steve Jobs. I have seen this video many times
and every time when I watch and listen I get a new message.
I can connect the first video “The Puzzle of Motivation”
with the Steve Jobs speech at Stanford and the boy from Africa.
Steve Jobs words are:
“You have to find want you love”
“Your work is going to fill a large part of your life”
“The only way you be truly satisfied is to do what you
believe is great work”
“Keep looking and don’t settle”
“Stay hungry. Stay foolish”
The boy from Africa is following his heart. He will be able
to follow his heart and intuition. I am sure he will do great things to help
his family and his community.
He will work in things that matter to him.
