Technology & Motivation Flyer

Scenario:

Imagine you are a teacher at a local elementary school. Teachers at your school are not convinced that technology is appropriate for 5-year-old children. You believe that technology such as tablets does have a place in kindergarten. You know that there are many educational apps that children love to play with, and you believe that there are many benefits from such activity. To share your point of view with your colleagues, you decide to prepare a teacher handout on the use of technology and extrinsic motivation.

Assignment Instructions:
