Student Motivation

When walking down the hall, I hear students being frustrated over going to certain classes. If they are not wanting to go in the beginning, then their motivation is already gone. When I started Globaloria, I thought the motivation would take care of itself. It did in the beginning and has fallen off some as the course becomes more challenging. I really think that when the course started out the boys were more motivated than the girls. I only because say this because the boys play more games than girls. As the girls start working through the course and building blogs and wikis their motivation starts to increase. I am now at the point where some motivation is gone. To regain some student motivation I plan on letting the students replay some of the games. I need help getting back to where we were in the beginning. As for the plans I hope just to continue learning with the students and being a facilitator to them.
