Blog: How does motivation translate into technology design and success? Think of an example successful technology, and share how motivation was a factor in its success.

I think that motivation leads to the chouce to seek out and use successful technology. We are motivated either intrinsically to seek out and use something and make it successful, or extrinsically by a boss/coworker/peer/etc who force, or convince, us to use or try something. I would not use a new technology in my classroom if I didn't feel it was important, pertinent, interesting, or required. It's my motivation that leads to my students trying and using new things!
