I wish we had more creative ideas like these!! By incorporating fun into mundane daily practices, technology can really motivate people to make better choices. "Day of Glass" may too intrusive for personal tastes, but I think these are fun ways to incorporate technology in a positive way. What do you think?
You always find the coolest videos! I love the trash bin and the piano stairs. They make doing everyday things more fun and interesting and increase the likelihood that people will do them. Technology is apparently the way to get people to do what you want them to. Kind of like when I ask my kids to practice math facts and they don't, but when I find a computer game where they practice math facts, they do!
ReplyDeleteThanks Lainey!!
ReplyDeleteExactly what I was thinking! With my students it is writing: my kinders claim they don't know how to write letters but can write fine with the app or my other reluctant writers that can't wait to blog. I am all for bribery (with the hopes that intinsic motivation will grow, of course ;)!
What a cool use of technology! I love the "incentives" technology creates in this video. Yet another way it is changing our world every day.
