get hints for improving student attention
Good tips for improving classroom attention
Hi, getting and retaining attention in the classroom is no different than the work environment. I found over the years that when I note "loss of attention" from the group, that I purposely start talking about a totally different subject or inject something off the wall. YOu'd be surprised as to how that "wakes" up the group. It also adds some humor. As some of our lectures are "information overload".
hints, instruction methods should vary, tone should vary, activities, list the agenda
