In conclusion, it is my belief that there are certain philosophies that during my teaching I will aspire to
incorporate into the classroom because I can understand the benefit in their use. For this reason, ensuring that
students are able to be motivated and engaged within the classroom environment is important as it will assist
students in being able to achieve their personal learning goals. However, this cannot be achieved if several

the students and their abilities while creating a professional relationship with them. This will also allow for the
use of differentiation in the classroom that can contribute to the students and their learning. Additionally, the
concept of motivation and engagement can be achieved through an effective classroom layout and structure
that can provide students with the opportunity to engage with both the content and their peers in a controlled
environment. While the integration of ICT into pedagogical practices incorporated in the classroom will allow
for a well-rounded education that will assist the students in creating skills and experiences needed for the
future.
