Metacognition and motivation

I tried my hands on the Movie Maker. Windows Movie Maker allows you to add custom transitions/effects/titles. It is   easy to add effects , by clicking on to the Visual Effects tab,  and selecting on an effect to apply. Titles and captions can be added easily. Users can add desired text and a font, color, or size. Movie Maker enables addition of music and the transition effects automatically so that movie looks professional.

I also reflected on the term metacognition. The simplest definition of Metacognition is "thinking about thinking." It is awareness and knowledge of the cognitive activity. Learners with higher intrinsic motivation and metacognition show improved learning as compared to poorly motivated learners. Clark compares metacognitive activity with hands, those have flexibility to accommodate the kind of thing they are using. Similarly, the metacognitive activities must be tailored so that they can accommodate the needs of the learners.
