Teachr4 Dec 13 @ 9:08 PM EST

A1 Many students don't come to us with the gift of motivation. We need to show them the rewards. #6thchat

Ms_Mielke Dec 13 @ 9:12 PM EST

#6thchat - A2: Letting them have a say in how the project / class is done.

mrskochheiser - Moderator Dec 13 @ 9:13 PM EST

a2) Factors that increase intrinsic motivation include personal interest/curiosity, enough challenge, control over activity #6thchat

SamReisman93 Dec 13 @ 9:13 PM EST

A2: A factor to increase is S interest, if you can start w/ something they have interest in then from there it will be easier #6thchat

Teachr4 Dec 13 @ 9:14 PM EST

A2 Choice, choice and then choice. When Ss have a say in their learning, intrinsic motivation follows closely behind. #6thchat

Rachael_SMUMN Dec 13 @ 9:15 PM EST

A2 Student choice and voice. They'll have bigger buy-in if they have a chance to make it work for them #6thchat

mrskochheiser - Moderator Dec 13 @ 9:18 PM EST

Question 3 is on the slide! #6thchat

mrskochheiser - Moderator Dec 13 @ 9:19 PM EST

A3) Try to put as much "game" into the activities, intrigue, puzzling questions, critical thinking, beating personal best #6thchat

Teachr4 Dec 13 @ 9:19 PM EST

A3 Think about what they can almost do and figure out what it is going to take to get them there. Create that motivation #6thchat

Rachael_SMUMN Dec 13 @ 9:20 PM EST

A3 challenges vary depending on the student, so differentiation to make sure all Ss are working just above their comfort level #6thchat

SamReisman93 Dec 13 @ 9:21 PM EST

A3: I like to build challenge in through scaffolding, start and give chart and as go on remove more and more of pre-filled in chart #6thchat

mrskochheiser - Moderator Dec 13 @ 9:31 PM EST

mrskochheiser - Moderator Dec 13 @ 9:31 PM EST

Perfect example of including curiosity!! #6thchat

In reply to @SamReisman93

SamReisman93 Dec 13 @ 9:32 PM EST

A6: The way to jumps to my mind is gamify class or activities. I'm trying some gamifying by groups (same as centers) and Ss like it #6thchat

Rachael_SMUMN Dec 13 @ 9:39 PM EST

A6 Ss are working on party planning w/groups (tied to math standards) and vote on the party we'll have before break #6thchat

mrskochheiser - Moderator Dec 13 @ 9:39 PM EST

Absolutely! That's a terrific way to provide both competitive and cooperative opportunties. #6thchat

Teachr4 Dec 13 @ 9:44 PM EST
