This article lists 10 things that could possibly help motivate a student who are hesitant to draw and learn to become self-learners. There was an issue that the author mentioned that seemed to grab my attention. According to the author, there is a general distrust of the educated. I do not have enough information about this subject matter bit it will be very interesting to research this. Perhaps this issue alone will help shape my ARP into something a bit different.
This was an informative article that went a little deeper into how to use games and simulations to motivate and give students some confidence in their abilities. There were some game links included that look like they could be very useful in class. It was more about education in general than about art but still has some very valuable information.
This is about the games Civilization, Civilization ll and Civilization lll and how they can be used for motivation and learning. The author discussed how the level of difficulty could be used to teach about learning in small steps to eventually reach the goal.
There could be a downside to using games if solely used as a motivating factor according to this author. They might lose their sense of fun and possibly become objects of obligation. Judging by some of the comments to this article, it is not a popular belief. I would need to research a bit more about this to see how many feel this way and if the author has a good and valid point.
There are some teachers who seem to not want to change with the times. This particular author wrote about how using PowerPoint has become boring and he would rather teach without technology. It seems to be mostly about PowerPoint and the boredom he thinks it brings to the classroom. This does not sound like a progressive classroom. I’m not saying there is no learning happening but there is more to classroom tech life than PowerPoint and if this is all he could do before and is unwilling to learn more technology, I pity both him and his students.
