Questioning Techniques???????

                                  'All great ideas start with a question. What if ?'
 Questioning is a very important tool in the hands of a teacher. All teachers use this tool on and off. Effective questioning yields very different and positive results than simple closed questioning and this was proven true during my last lesson.
 I used a few techniques during my lesson with year 10 students. No hands questioning, Call the expert, phone a friend to be specific. The students enjoyed being the expert and coming up to explain the rest of the class. Phone a friend was also very effective as the students got an opportunity to feel confident enough to answer if they had a doubt.

                                                    How I plan to question differently?

I plan to use these active learning techniques in all my lessons as I can feel the difference both in   the outcome and in the students’ involvement and interest levels.I would choose from the various new questioning strategies mentioned such as bounce questions, phone a friend, think/share/pair and many many more, to ensure that I provide students with higher order questioning and to make them think a step further.
