This article arises awareness on me since it shows me the importance of having some good humor included in the class. This teacher tells his experience of taking at least one joke every day to class and how it impacts his relationship with the students. 
I will take this advice into account when giving my classes since it can create a comfortable environment and a good relationship between my students and me. I want them to feel free enough to talk to me, to make connections and to be more than just a teacher and her students. I want them to be my partners and this is such a good way to accomplish it!

Laughter and Learning: Humor Boosts Retention

Laughter and Learning: Humor Boosts Retention | iGeneration - 21st Century Education (Pedagogy & Digital Innovation) | Scoop.it
Humor activates the brain's dopamine reward system, stimulating goal-oriented motivation and long-term memory, which means that humor can improve retention in students of all ages.

How many of us, young and old, enjoy a good laugh?

How many have suffered through a boring, dry, long and dragged out speech, lecture or class?

Studies show that humor and laughter not only help in student engagement but assist in student retention and memory.
