Incorporate Manipulatives
This goes along with the technology. Use manipulatives as often as possible. And honestly, most anything can be considered a manipulative. This will help kinesthetic learners as well as visual ones. It also gives students a different way of viewing things.
One of the guys I graduated with created a logic puzzle that related to physics and a "who done it" mystery situation. After presenting the problem, he connected people (playing characters) with string, and cut the connections as innocence was proven.
I sometimes give them coloured pencils and have them do a drawing activity relating to the topic we're on.
You can do a book report or historical analysis with posters or something.
I don't know - the possibilites are endless.
Just...don't stand there and lecture at them the entire time. It's boring.
