Change is the end result of all true learning. – When times like this creep up, we must resort to a tactic that incentivizes their learning by offering them treats, or (in my house) bribes to get them to be good students both in school and at home.

It is definitely convenient, but does this lead to better learning in the classroom? My answer is that it could actually lead to worse learning, faster. Look at EdCamp. It is the same for personal as it is for professional. For example, is using a “scantron” to mark multiple choice exams innovative?
