Students, what would happen if you went to a school where you decided what you would learn and when you would learn it? Would you have what it takes to learn on your own? Or would you play video games all day long? Click below to hear a podcast on some interesting ideas on this topic from a book called Drive, by Daniel Pink.

BTW, to all you students who have smartphones. You can download this podcast to your smartphone and listen to it in your car or on your way to school.
EXTRA CREDIT OPPORTUNITY: Students in AVID (or even in one of my English classes): I'll give you 10 points of extra credit if you list and explain the three elements of motivation for high level thinking that Daniel Pink thinks are more powerful and relevant than the old carrot and stick approach to motivation.
