2. You’ve never
heard these
before…
I don’t have to if I don’t want to!
This class is boring!
When am I ever going to use that!
How come you gave me an F!
I’ll come, but you can’t make me do anything!
If he doesn’t have to, then I don’t either!
That’s not fair!
This is stupid!
3. Unmotivated?
What does that mean?
Does he/she do nothing…?
Or does it mean "how to get
him/her to do what we want
him/her to do...?"

7. Gut check question…
If kids had the choice, would they still
come to your class?
8. Who is doing more work in your classroom… ?
Who is working harder in your classroom, you, or the students…?
If you are absent, can the class go on or will it come to a grinding halt…?
Are you the sole possessor of knowledge and information, or do you facilitate a
learning culture where knowledge and information are shared…?
10. Some kids don't want to
learn because they don't feel
they are able to learn...
Help them change their
mindset & get learning!

13. What about grades?
Do grades motivate kids?
If grades are the only thing that will motivate a
kid, is that a good or a bad thing?
What happens when grades don’t motivate?
Is that a good or a bad thing?

16. For the record, putting technology in the hands of every
student in America while using the same traditional
approaches to instruction will only provide a short term
boost to motivation.
Technology is NOT the silver bullet to motivating students.
