Motivating Your Students
I tell the students in my clas to have a good time and keep it Professional. i think part of learning is to have fun in the learning process.
When motivating my students I try to use humor, logic and real life stories. It just depends on the class which thing motivates them. Sometimes I have to use many different things. Most of the real life stories are humorous though.
Smart idea especially with long classes.
I agree, learning should be fun and laughing makes people feel good.
That is a great rule to follow. I do the same for my students. They love to have fun learning. I think it makes it easier and more memorable. It certainly helps in retention of students as well as retaining what learn.
Hi Robin,
Right you are about keeping students engaged and focused on learning. Having fun while learning increases the retention of both the students and the content.
