Summary:How do you reward students for doing good work? Mike Burr, head of ICT at Writhlington School in Somerset, believes the answer lies in giving children a project that's so engaging that just completing it is enough. By putting in the extra effort to make a task exciting, he believes that the children will be motivated and will reward the teacher with their enthusiasm and dedication. The project he gives his students is to make a video introducing a brand new school building to pupils in the school's feeder primary schools. The aim is to make the Year 6 pupils feel at home when they move into Year 7.
