OVERVIEW
Imagine you are a teacher at a local elementary school. Teachers at your school are not
convinced that technology is appropriate for five-year-old children. You believe that technology
such as tablets does have a place in kindergarten. You know there are many educational apps that
children love to play with, and you believe that there are many benefits from such activity. To
share your point of view with your colleagues, you will prepare a persuasive infographic on the
use of technology and extrinsic motivation.
INSTRUCTIONS
Select a program to use for the creation of your infographic. There are a number of online
programs that offer free infographic templates and graphics Venngage, Canva, and Adobe
Spark, to name a few. Create an infographic for your colleagues on the topic of the use of
technology and extrinsic motivation. Include an explanation of what extrinsic motivation is and
provide three examples in which learning could be enhanced through the use of technology for
the extrinsically motivated student.
