3. Jerome Bruner
Jerome Bruner main
premise was that
students are active
learners who construct
their own knowledge. He
created three modes of
representations where
information or
knowledge is stored and
encoded in the memory.

4. Daniel Pink
Society needs workers who
are intrinsically motivated,
and “anything other than
task-related praise will stifle
this motivation”
The key is to overcome
functional fixedness - objects
can have multiple functions.
The power of incentives - an
experimenter gave one group
a monetary incentive if they
solved it faster; the other
group was told they were
being timed for averages.

Gladwell
Through his story of
Howard Moskowitz’s
revolution of spaghetti
sauce, the audience
comes to understand
Gladwell’s belief in the
opportunity to reach all
people through different
methods.

6. Edward Deci
Motivation is the energy
for action. Self

you must differentiate
types of motivation
between controlled and
autonomous.

8. The best way to find out what
motivates people, is to ask them.
• Ask how they are doing?
• What parts of your work do you find challenging?
• What aspects are frustrating or uncomfortable?
• What makes your work harder than it needs to be?
• Do you feel appreciated for the work you do?
• What drives them to give their best effort?

might face.
Remember people are the most important resource you have.

13. Designing Meaningful Instruction
1. Offer options-People are complicated; people have different learning
styles and habits.
2. Reinforce competency instead of competition-While some people are
highly competitive, everybody loves to achieve goals. Performance-based
climates can be alienating, nerve-wracking, and induce conflict and
anxieties.
3. Use fun tech to invigorate your teaching and their learning.-If a
teacher isn’t enthusiastic about their subject, how can they expect their
students to be?
4. Help learners help themselves-If you want learners to engage in and
take ownership in their education, it only makes sense you’ll want to
choose tech that nurtures rather than diminishes their agency.
