Motivating Students
Developing a Capable and Motivated Classroom: How to Engage and Motivate Generation Y

Society has changed and so have our students. As teachers, we are faced with the consequences of this change in our classrooms every day. With all the stimulation that children get through technology and other means, it would seem that many of our students have shorter attention spans and are harder to engage and motivate. Bearing this in mind, we must learn to "work smart" and recognise that one thing technology cannot provide is the "human touch". This workshop will look at the unique mindsets of our Generation Y students, and examine how we can harness this information to engage them in their learning.

Discover the SEVEN MINDSETS OF GENERATION Y!.You will:

* Learn how Generation Y thinks.
* Discover how you can prevent your students from becoming cynical about learning.
* Learn about the importance of "connection" for Generation Y students.
* Become familiar with strategies that will help you keep things relevant in the eyes of your students.
* Learn how to harness technology to your positive advantage.
