Stories of firsthand accounts can be highly effective in a class setting.

I learned that supplying motivators that are extrinsic may actually be hurting more than it's helping. Giving a reward for doing something that they should already be doing can cause students to lose motivation if I stop offering rewards.

For future motivation, I should focus on seeing how the tasks can be connected to what students already want.

I had not thought of "security" in this context before. I did know that belief in one's ability to accomplish a task is important though, so I use language to encourage that. I found that I used many of the described techniques already.

I like the idea of implementing more autonomy. I especially like the idea of small quizzes at the beginning of class throughout the term, encouraging students to get to class on time.

Become an amateur psychologist, or just a caring person, and the foundation of education will be established!

Presentation or delivery of information is only a part of the education experience.

I plan to teach some basic things about the topic, then show the students how they could learn similar things on their own, and reinforce that they each have it within themselves to be successful in the field.

I look forward to gamifying troubleshooting processes. Muahaha.

Understanding your students intrinsic and extrinsic motivation can help in the teaching process and help create an environment where students can thrive in learning.

Ask speakers from our industry come in and speak to the class occasionally, to share their experiences and range of income in our industry to get the students excited and motivate them. 

The value of security and autonomy in classroom structure will help facilitate learning.
