Playing with People

As we have talked about with video games, getting people emotionally involved is the best way to get their full attention and ingaged in what is going on. By getting students emotionally involved in the work they are doing you are much mor likely to get the very best of the studnets.

Getting people motivated in anything is tough unless there is a reward for them. I have noticed that with my friends. When a new game or CD comes out, I'll say "Man, we should get that!" all excited. The ones with money share the excitemtn. The one without, do not. They end up borrowing it off of me. That's their reward.
I share the same experience with my friends except always end up having to lend my game or CD out. The good thing is though you can share the reward with your friends.
