Additional Assignment #2

I believe if learners are motivated, they can teach themselves. That's a big reason why people lose focus on the things they desire. If people were more motivated to learn, more people would learn. I do believe if kids are motivated to learn they would not only teach other kids, they would probably teach parents also! For someone to teach themselves, they would just have to know what they're teaching. In order to be a good and effective teacher, they should not only know what they're teaching, but also be motivated and have that desire. Computers and internet would have a big effect on the teaching kids simply because of the entertainment of learning that way.

I also believe if a person have a problem, they should be able to contact a teacher. If there's no teacher to be found in the mist of a problem, they might lose interest in the activity. Most of the time, it's hard to motivate someone to learn because it requires creativity and everyone doesn't learn the same. I'm motivated to learn if I'm interested in the activity and theirs an entertaining way of doing it. If you're not motivated to learn, or forced to learn, they would still learn but probably not as much.

We constantly teach our self things simply in life. If we apply these methods to school related activities, learning would excel. As a result of watching this video, I get "If children have interest, education happens". I believe teachers should use this video as a tool to help and guide them in the direction of motivation, in order to become better teachers.
