Inattentive Students: keeping their attention
I always walk around the room when I lecture. It definitely helps with the inattentive students. My presence redirects the inattentive students behavior causing them to stay focused on me and where I am in the room.
I also like to pass learning items around while lecturing to keep my students attention. They get to see and interact with the objects I am teaching them about.
Does anyone have different or unique ways to keep their students focused when lecturing?
I too walk around when i lecture. I does help keep the suddents attention. As i walk around i can stop and ask if any one has some input and they are more offent paying attention. never knowing where i may stop.
Hi Carrie,
Great ways to keep your students attention! I use my loud voice and energetic ways...I never sit down. It appears to me students are more focused whenever you are standing.
