What motivates you?

High School Students...

Motivation is a big part of life, not just for you in school, but with everything. It's a trait that can help define who you are and what you accomplish. I would like to know your thoughts on what motivates you to learn in an educational setting? What gives you the drive to do a good job in a school, on a test, on a project. You may apply this to things outside of school too. There is a direct correlation between achievement and motivation whether it be in or outside of school. What can we do as educators to help motivate you?

1. I am asking each of you to think carefully about the above question.
2. Please answer with sincerity and thoughtfulness. I as your educator, am working hard to make learning fun, stimulating and enjoyable for you.
3. I encourage you to not only post to my question, but please reblog to at least two others responses. Maybe words of encouragement or discovery.
4. Question #3 is not a requirement, but I highly recommended you respond, as the results could benefit you and your fellow classmates.

Middle School - Social Media in Education

Middle School Students...

Social Media is a big part of life, not just for you, but for adults too. I would like to know your thoughts on using social media in education? For example, YouTube, Pinterest, Twitter, Google +, Instagram, Snapchat, Vine, Tumblr, text messaging and even Facebook! How can teachers utilize social media in education both inside and outside of school? Do you think this is a good idea?
