knowing your students and connecting real life experiences to the course material will go a long way to keeping them engaged and motivated.

I learned that engaged students that are respected and supported tend to stay and finish. as an instructor I have to find a way to engage students a good start is learning the names of the students day one.

I learned that there will be students of different ages and life experiences that will play a part in how the student will learn and grow while in the course and as an instructor I will need to be aware of this in order to best pass on the knowledge skills needed for the student to be successful  

Gamification will have a positive impact on student engagement, morale, and promote a healthy atmosphere of competition when utilized properly.

If we create an environment where it is fun yet about business it will create a great atmosphere. It is important to create a positive yet fun culture in the classroom setting.

What I learned in this topic was that overseeing a group of students requires being self-less and prioritizing their needs to ensure their success. When we become educators and our end goal it to help them complete their life goal, we must create an environment that matches each students need. To be successful, we must understand the individual student and group and create a balanced place where all can get their needs met. 

making reachable goals for students and show the rewards at the end!

This module clarified the difference between intrinsic and extrinsic motivation and how both influence behavior. Intrinsic motivation comes from personal satisfaction and passion, while extrinsic motivation is driven by rewards or recognition. I plan to apply this by encouraging internal motivation while also using positive reinforcement to support engagement and achievement.
