motivating students
Deliver your presentation with energy and enthusiasm. As a display of your motivation your passion motivates your students. Make the course personal, showing why you are interested in the material
Kacey,
I am a big fan of guest speakers and field trips because they increase the value of the content to students. They start to see why you are teaching what you are as a result of going on a field trip and seeing what is really done in their field.

I also like to take them on field trips to see real world applications.
Keeping students focused on the benefits of the training they are receiving is beneficial to staying motivated.
Robin,
Real life examples bring value to the course content. They help students to see the application and relevancy to what is being taught and this is what engages them. So keep sharing those stories.

I like to give students real-life examples and case studies related to the subjects under discussion. This gives me a platform to underscore my enthusiasm for the topic.
Greg,
All good points to consider and make a part of your delivery. This way you will have engaged students that are focused on what is being taught in the class.
