When we think about being professional, we think of people being serious and working hard. In reality however, if you are trying to engage and motivate a group of people this may not be the best approach. We can be professional without being serious, we can work hard while still having fun. This talk introduces tips and activities that teachers can use in the classroom to make their lessons more fun and more effective.
