My computer did not have the bandwidth to support loading the padlet, but I have my problem and solution here and hopefully I can add it to the padlet from work another day:

Student Grade Motivation

A challenge I often encounter is that students will not participate unless the activity or assignment is for grades. I tried to tackle this problem by creating in-class assignments in order to enhance buy-in. Unfortunately, in some cases I am setting my students up to be unsuccessful in future programs where learning needs to be intrinsic in order to keep up with material and be successful.

A solution to grade motivation / participation

I believe a solution to this problem may be to have assignments that require the use of technology and tools outside the classroom. This way students begin to build the study habits needed for nursing or other advanced programs but it’s not always happening during class time. Tools that might be helpful for this is asking them to create a quizlet of terms or their own Kahoots outside of class in order to study and make that process for grades.
