Kiersten,
You are very good with media. What I mean is, you know how to do fancy stuff on the computer, etc. Also, you have an unusual knowledge of popculture stuffs, like comics, websites, TV and Movies, music, etc.

Incorporate that media as much as you can in your teaching. Have a comic strip ready to read when class begins. Show a funny website, or make a requirement for your students to visit one outside of class. Play a song, or sing the lyrics to a funny song. Show clips from TV shows, both dramas and comedies. Show clips of movies. Make any use of those media that you can--even if the relevance to your lesson is sort of a stretch.

A) other teachers/supervisors will be impressed
B) your students will perk up
C) it adds a fun element to class
D) it is memorable
E) it allows you to put more of your personality into your teaching

I'm just going crazy with the lists today!
