Overview

Sometimes, we find that the best motivation we can provide to our students comes from other students in the classroom. Promoting student interaction has numerous positive effects in the classroom from supporting learning to reducing the feeling of alienation and isolation. Activities that promote cooperation and collaboration are a great way to promote student interaction and increase motivation.
