Stanford Teaching Commons: Activities to Boost Student Engagement
Today, while reading Sarah Rose Cavanagh’s article “How to Make Your Teaching More Engaging” — because hey, that’s something I need to do! — I followed one of the links which led me to these learning activities, posted in the Stanford Teaching Commons. Maybe you’ve used some, like Think-Pair-Share, maybe others you’ve never heard of. In my opinion, they are all worth checking out!
I believe that a large part of teaching is to inspire students. After all, we became teachers in part because we were inspired by other teachers. Also, we chose to teach our particular subject because there was something about it that made it stand out. Thus, it is our responsibility as teachers to make our classes engaging for our students.

Handwashing Song
Because this song is AWESOME and INFORMATIVE, here it is, again. You might find yourself listening to it several times a day, or having it stuck in your head for as long as we’re dealing with the current situation. As they sing in the song,
“Together we shall beat the coronavirus.”
