Superbowl Commercials and Student Engagement
This is not to say that other commercials are less creative and intriguing, or that the marketing groups aren't as strategic at other times of the year. But the Superbowl creates a unique opportunity for companies to capitalize on a captive audience. When the stakes are highest, they bring their best stuff. And the cost has been deemed worthy.
How does this translate into our profession? What are the events that create the greatest attention of our stakeholders? And do we bring our best stuff? Do we invest the most?
Do students walk into classrooms with anticipation of something new, creative and exciting? What is the hook that you use each day? Do you change up your routine to keep them in wonder? Do you put a new spin on "old" information to get them to look at it more deeply, from a different angle, or as a counter-argument? Are we creating something that will be a topic of discussion with someone outside of class?
Do students have ownership of the time spent in classrooms? Do you allow them to create the moments that command attention? Are their voices respected and appreciated by you and their peers?
While the Superbowl only happens once a year, we can create more opportunities for students to "tune in" in our classes with a little creative energy and out of the box thinking. Watch the video below to see if what advertising specialists do so well can lead to greater student engagement.
