The Surprising Truth about what Motivates Us

Take 10 minutes and 48 seconds of your busy schedule and watch the presentation by Dan Pink about The Surprising Truth about What Motivates Us. Then I have some questions/observations for you.



Questions/observations:

• can you/do you identify with the research findings in your educational setting? I certainly do - once the basics of pay are out of the way - dam would I love the chance to do a 24 hour development with the 5 minute chance to show what I'd done to colleagues at the end  - kind of like the TechCrunch Disrupt events.
• would something like this 24 hour (or whatever) event work with students? This is a bit rhetorical because I've seen what our Year 12 media students do over a weekend of intense film making.
• What a cool way to present ... the geeky part of me ... what a stunning presentation. I want to know how to do something like this. Anyone know of some software/hardware which might help?
• isn't Youtube great
