摘要：

Teaching depends not just on great content, but also on holding students’ attention so that they can fully engage with that content.  This talk looks at the psychology of attention, and what you can do in your class to keep students engaged. There are four parts: class design, pre-class readiness, entry, and class discussion management. Class design focuses on finding material that can lead to difference of opinion and debate. Pre-class readiness focuses on having students feel that there is a student-teacher relationship. Entry draws on lessons from theater, to find and direct energy. And classroom discussion is about knowing when to have tighter and looser control.
