   Social media Vs Students

  Social media has been criticized a lot due to the effect it has on the way students produce and retain information.

In a world where your networks and connections are important, graduates enter the workplaces with a lot more to offer.

There are conflicting ideas about the aims or purposes of education. These disagreements have existed since early times, relative to philosophical stands, so these are some of the aims of education For example:

Motivating Students To Read And Write

Motivating students to read and write

At the beginning most of the teacher may suffer from the same problem which is the have kids did not want to do anything but they want to write on their mentor , seeing these kids who have lost hope in learning want to participate that’s invaluable

It is an opportunity to write and share themselves without judgment…they talk about their mentors as their best friends  that they have known for years these kids normally shut down with learning but they are asking to write their mentors.

As a result for this problem intrinsic motivation is found which is the desire to do something for its own sake just because its interesting fun and satisfying in itself also intrinsic motivation yields a higher level of engagement than extrinsic  motivation such as: grades, money, and stickers.

Extrinsic motivation can actually undermine intrinsic motivation while the research show that intrinsic motivation is depend on 3 psychological need which are autonomy and competence and relatedness
