Good post. You make some great points that most people do not fully understand.

““Going to school” is an activity that has a life and dies; learning is a continuing process. Enrollments and degree programs terminate; personal living networks accompany learners through life– the ultimate educational institution– serving as companion, confidante, and oracle alike.”

I like how you explained that. Very helpful. Thanks.

The New PLE: Personal Living Environment…

Chris Lott defends this broad declaration well: that students need to be taught that learning is life-long, and that hopefully today’s teachers can instill a motivational love of learning through self-expression….

That “all” in your sentence is a whole world of which we (educators) have only explored a bit past our back yard

It’s semantics. You say you can’t turn the switch on for someone else, I say that through example, inspiration and sharing we effectively *can* by helping them to.

ah, but there’s the rub – you can’t throw the switch on someone _else_ to become internally motivated. they have to do it themselves. I suppose all we can do is model and support…

Natural? I don’t know. Better? Yes.

And you are absolutely correct that motivation is key– part of our job has to be finding the right switches to turn on the internal light bulbs so students become motivated from within…

internal vs. external locus of control. for people who are still requiring external motivation, a PLE won’t work – they won’t “get it” – but once they shift to internal motivation, PLE is a natural outcome. or is it? hmm….
