I think the system he was describing does tie those motivational "points" back to tangible rewards... but I have to question if that's why awarded points actually make a difference in people's behavior. <a href="http://twitter.com/wwickha1" rel="nofollow">@wwickha1</a> and <a href="http://twitter.com/usablelearning" rel="nofollow">@usablelearning</a> and I have been tweeting pretty furiously this morning and share your concern about government tracking (and personally, I would find the constant *ding!* very annoying, as well). ;) Here are a few articles we've shared for anyone who wants to read more about the motivation side: http://nyti.ms/8ZMQNW and http://nyti.ms/8ZMQNW http://bit.ly/cVDezF.

For all of us "Nerdy Nerds being Nerdy", it sounds plausible. I don't know that I want to have everything I do tracked by the government though. As it relates to training, I think it comes down to motivation. It has to somehow have an impact on their personal lives to make a difference. At least that seemed to be the commonality in his presentation. Well…. For all of us “Nerdy Nerds being Nerdy”, it sounds plausible.
