   I have begun this online video, on Lynda.com titled Learning How to Increase Learner Engagement under the Education and E-learning category. Within this video, there were several quizzes along the way towards the end of the video to ensure that I was paying attention and fully engaged with what the video was talking about. This video focused on Passive vs. Active learning techniques and the difference between the two for students. It also went into detail about the ways teachers and educators can increase engagement with the help of different strategies such as introducing more problem-based learning, flip charts, index cards and much more. Students learn best with an active learning environment, because they have been found to keep the student engaged with what is being taught in their class and they don’t have time to be distracted or not paying attention to what is being taught.  Students learn how to actively think, learn and work with the content that is being taught.  Lecturing alone is not enough to effectively teach and keep students engaged in learning, much more needs to be done and changed to allow students to receive the proper level of knowledge from a lesson or lecture. Think, pair and share is the key to a successful learning environment.  There are various ways that teachers can explore to get their students more engaged in a lesson, such as using index cards, flip charts and other digital tolls like blogs or twitter. The trick is to find what works best in your classroom with the students and go from there.
