Before I was introduced to wikis in April 2008, I never would have envisioned how much my teaching could use these new technologies. More importantly, my students could not be more ready to take their education to a new level that I sincerely hope will better connect them to the world and prepare them to participate in a digital world. The time is now, and while students have been hungry for this opportunity, the reinforcing research is thorough enough to justify using wikis,blogs, podcasts, Flickr, Moodle, and online writing technologies that I feel can significantly improve students’ writing, and perhaps more importantly, prepare them for digital citizenship. This series, based on action research I collected while studying for my M.Ed, explores the impact digital technology can have on how our students learn, and how we, as educators, can leverage that impact for the good of our students.

Having explored the scientific research of the last 40 years, Dan Pink has deeply examined what really motivates people. What he’s found is that there is a mismatch between what social scientists know and what business (and education) does. This is a fascinating TED talk that relates some surprising (yet deeply intuitive) facts about intrinsic versus extrinsic motivators.
