What the video covers:
Using students’ unique interests to encourage internal motivation to learn.
Simple ways to use familiar or personal interests to gain students’ attention.
Including students’ names and interests in classroom problems to make activities more engaging.
Using problem-based learning, including creative scenarios such as classroom “crime scenes,” to spark curiosity and participation.
