There are different ways of looking at it, but I think even reluctant participants still feel rewarded when they know they are being challenged, especially when they begin to see themselves improving.Veronica Chasehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09847315278859040483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5908987455280900998.post-2980840084830627142011-03-09T11:51:17.539-08:002011-03-09T11:51:17.539-08:00I think this is an engaging way to interact with t...I think this is an engaging way to interact with the students, It is definitely challenging and keeps them on their toes mentally. There are so many positive benefits of this style of teaching, and I'm encouraged to see that advances in instructional techniques are still being made. With that being said if it were like this when I was in school I'm SURE I would've hated it! LOL I didn't mind volunteering and answering questions aloud but just knowing that it was coming I could see myself being like "OH GOD here we go with this" LMAO I like this method a lot though. It forces you to be attentive and prepared.singswellhttp://www.twitter.com/singswellnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5908987455280900998.post-38356512422655415322011-02-28T18:26:27.982-08:002011-02-28T18:26:27.982-08:00I also notice that, when I'm subbing and askin...I also notice that, when I'm subbing and asking questions, I first go for the kids who raise their hand. But it sometimes becomes clear that only a few students know the answers and want to volunteer. So I'll start calling on the kids who haven't raised their hands, to either encourage them to participate (the quiet kids) or to focus. It's not too different from what this cold call appears to be doing.Veronica Chasehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09847315278859040483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5908987455280900998.post-23982039598644873062011-02-28T18:23:36.517-08:002011-02-28T18:23:36.517-08:00I think it's an interesting method.

I guess it could put students "on the spot," make them feel uncomfortable, etc. The students here don't seem pressured, though.<br /><br />But I do like that it appears to be a challenge. All of the students are having to find the answer before you let them know who will be called. To me, it looks almost like a game. I think it could have its usefulness in the classroom as a short review or game method.<br /><br />What are your thoughts?Veronica Chasehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09847315278859040483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5908987455280900998.post-51036264222020971122011-02-28T16:55:00.149-08:002011-02-28T16:55:00.149-08:00So do you like this teaching style or no?
