Students learn in various different ways and it is the teacher's responsibility to understand their students to best conduct lessons and activities that adhere to their needs. Once getting to know your students, you can then create lessons not only based on how they learn best but on their interests. Even though we as teachers are faced with standards we can still tweak lessons to make them more meaningful and fun for our students. In turn they will be more successful and probably remember the information better. Even if we have to teach a topic that is dry as can be, we can do our best to find those interesting facts or learn it through play to make it more interesting. Technology is a great tool to use for engaging students and putting a new spin on learning. In this day and age students are becoming more and more familiar with the latest technologies and would most likely consider using them more fun than a paper and pencil activity. Also, if your students have some sort of disability it is important to understand what you can do for them to best comprehend and complete the assignments. In my classroom, simply getting to know my students will be the first step into making phenomenal lessons that they won't forget and will be excited about.
