Reanna, great post. Related to this is the importance of helping students better understand that no one can know it all as there are always new things to learn and apply. I always encourage instructors to share with students how current events apply to the topic being studied. What changes have occurred in your profession over the last several years and over the longer period of time. What can we takeaway from a better understanding of the past? These are all great techniques in keeping students engaged and to help them understand that learning is something they will be doing for the rest of their lives. James Jackson
