<p>Hello Sabahudin,</p> <p>Keeping students engaged and curious begins within the first few seconds of them viewing the announcement, discussion, comment, etc....</p> <p>I use three different tactics to grab the students attention: (1) A colorful large clear font &amp; unique photo applicable to the topic (sometimes gifs are very eye-catching too), &nbsp;(2) My subject line in the topic is either &nbsp;'funny or controversial', and (3) Within the comment I use links to the information/video and include 'my personal perspective' AND 'open ended questions'.</p> <p>Because we are constantly bombarded with information, it is important to grab your student's attention from the start -</p> <p>Lauree Lee Russell</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
