Show the class enthusiasm for learning the specific course. Making it fun and using some of the instructor's experience for the classes they are taking will keep them engaged.  

Each student is unique ijn gather and retain information

It is very  important keeping the students engaged and excited about learning

La gamificación en el aula va mucho más allá de simplemente "jugar". Consiste en incorporar mecánicas, dinámicas y elementos propios de los juegos (como puntos, niveles, desafíos, recompensas y retroalimentación inmediata) en entornos de aprendizaje no lúdicos. El verdadero valor de esta metodología radica en su capacidad para transformar la motivación intrínseca y extrínseca del estudiante, fomentando el compromiso, la autonomía, la perseverancia ante el error y el trabajo colaborativo.

  I have learned that every small improvement matter. 

Comment on Jamie Youngblood's post: I agree. Both intrinsic and extrinsic motivators have an important place in the classroom. While extrinsic motivators can encourage students to participate and stay engaged, intrinsic motivation helps them develop confidence, independence, and a genuine desire to learn. Using a balance of both can support students as they build security and autonomy over time.
