Respect is the key.

Be patient, positive and friendly - students will reflect your behavior.

Split lesson.

Students concentrate better when they do miscellaneous activities:

listen
discuss
watch the videos
work in groups
make a speech / presentation
take notes and so on.

Follow EdTech trends.

Learning Management System helps to manage the classroom and develop the variety of skills, for instance:

Moodle is a learning platform with a great number of plugins.

Plagiarism checker - to check student essays and provide online feedback. This one gives the opportunity to compare Doc vs Doc and prevent cheating in class. Plagiarism detectors motivate students to express their own thoughts in writing and help to save time.

Socrative is a powerful student respond system.

So, this is my perfect teaching and classroom management formula :-)
