The infographic below shares information from chapter 6 of How People Learn II: Learners, Contexts and Cultures. Entitled "Motivation to Learn," the chapter details three major influences on motivation: learners' values and beliefs, personal goals, and their social and cultural context. My infographic highlights important aspects of each of these influences. Inherent to motivation is autonomy and choice, which align well with Gura's article on Creativity (with his capital C). Students need to feel that their work has value and that they have the capacity to learn and communicate. Providing choice using technology tools is one avenue for teaching and developing Creativity with a purpose. My infographic shares three technology tools and an idea to support student growth and development.
I used a template on Canva to create this infographic. The template provided the basic graphic design of the infographic, and I was able to manipulate elements to alter the layout for my content. The downside of using the template is that I could not figure out how to make it physically longer. I would have included a bit more information to connect motivation to Creativity and expand on the ISTE standards section a bit. The upside is that I couldn't get too wordy and add too much information.
