ABSTRACT
Missions are motivating. Learning missions can be used to motivate students to complete routine activities, such as encouraging them to write in their journals or blogs, complete homework, study vocabulary, or participate regularly in their online learning platforms. Learning missions can vary the way engage with content so that use various skills and thinking to accomplish tasks. Students can have missions to play educational games, create drawings, interview people, make digital stories, visit museums, attend a play, solve a brainteaser, or create with web apps and tools. With the World Wide Web, have many options for getting students to explore content beyond our textbooks. They can create multimedia slideshows, digital stories, videos, multimedia posters, digital books, and more. Video games make players jump, break things, fly, climb, and so forth to gather points and items. In the same way, our learning missions need to get our students to search for knowledge in various areas.
