Those two papers, particularly the first one, are crazy relevant; great finds. Don't worry about getting too deep in the woods. It can be overwhelming to try to incorporate all the lessons in those papers and other active learning strategies. The advice I was given was to pick one or two strategies and start incorporating them. Then expand your tool belt. Keep things you feel work, discard those that don't fit the culture of your class. I'd encourage using surveys periodically with your classes too to see what strategies they find rewarding and engaging. Cheers!
