OER4Schools/activities/no hands up: Difference between revisions

This is a useful technique to engage all of the students all of the time.  The teacher poses a question for the students to think about and tells them, either before or after asking the question, that there should be 'no hands up' as everyone is expected to participate. The teacher then calls on a random student to answer the question.  Staging questioning this way can motivate students and keep them focused on the shared input as well as giving less confident children the chance to share their ideas.
