Combining Technology with the 6 "C's" of Motivation - Teachback



My presentation was on Combining Technology with the 6 "C's" of Motivation. I chose this topic because I believe that encouraging and enhancing our students' self-motivational drive is an effective method when trying to expose students' to self-propelled and open-ended learning.

As teachers it is important that we allow our students' to become more aware of their own capabilities by managing lessons oriented with: student choice, challenges for students', student control and decisions, collaboration between students, constructing meaning for students', and consequences that affect the student's outlook.

And also by manipulating the lessons our students' rely upon and are driven by the C's, therefore their own motivation is better utilized.

I enjoyed doing this project. It was interesting since it's my first time doing a presentation online and with the use of a headset. I think its great that we had the opportunity to do this. We can apply this in our future classes.
