  1. Dan Pink's presentation relates to education because if you tell kids that if they get good grade you give them money they will get some good grade.same with science when he told them about he give them $5 they got it dont 3 minutes faster.so it's the same thing as education.

  2. What Dan Pink is saying is basically to be encouraged with something you do whatever you have to do faster. With education its the same thing if a teacher says i will give you extra credit or a better grade you will work 2 times as twice than before.

    1. But where should the motivation come from? From teacher extra credit OR intrinsically?

  3. Dan Pink was saying that you should try your best, dont slack off. Also that you get an education for a reason to do thinks faster, to know what your doing when you have to do something. People should get rewards for stuff they accomplish. When he was doing that test with those people he wanted to prove that if you say that they will get a reward such as money because they with want that reward, so they will to it to feel accomplished and to get the reward obviously. Just like in school if you dont try you wont do it as well, but if you get a reward such as an A or B you try your best you will do a better job on your work and in life.

  5. Dan Pink's thoery relates to education because in his speach he describes how science and buisness have a mismach and how if than rewards creats problems for creativity and reason. Education relates to Dan Pinks thoery because he is basicly describing how poeple react to basic laerning and problem solving. People who do to be feel acomplished and rescieve rewards do not get educated those who do with the dendency just to do will change the world.
