The document discusses the 6 C's of motivation - choice, challenge, control, collaboration, constructing meaning, and consequences - and how technology can be combined with these to motivate students. It describes each of the 6 C's and how they are helpful for fun and engaging learning. It then provides examples of how technology like PowerPoint projects, research recording, and taped interviewing can be integrated to motivate students by allowing choice, collaboration, and constructing meaningful lessons while also providing challenge and consequences.
