We can only learn when we pay attention. Students who are actively engaged in classroom instruction go from recipients of knowledge to participants in the learning process. When students are engaged, learning is no longer superficial, but becomes more authentic as students make the psychological investment for their own learning. In a world where students have so many things seeking their attention, such as friends and cell phones, how can teachers actively engage students in the learning process? There are a myriad of ways that teachers can increase their students\u2019 engagement. We have listed some of our favorites:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Mix it up: use a variety of instruction activities<\/li>\n<li>Incorporate technology when appropriate<\/li>\n<li>Project-Based Learning or Problem-Based Learning or Passion-Based Learning<\/li>\n<li>Provide students with voice and choice<\/li>\n<li>Create authentic tasks<\/li>\n<li>Make learning relevant<\/li>\n<li>Incorporate movement and drama-based pedagogy<\/li>\n<li>Change your pace<\/li>\n<li>Allow students to discuss content with peers<\/li>\n<li>What others come to
