<p>Anna, yes, always a huge difference between teachers who look for the right answer vs. those interested in answerS! As Alfie Kohn recently Tweeted:</p>
<blockquote><p>@alfiekohn <strong>Alfie Kohn</strong></p>
<p>Better teachers tend to ask fewer questions that have only 1 right answer. Plus, their students are doing most of the asking</p>

<p>Thanks for sharing the settings in which you used this strategy. I particularly endorse the idea of having participants share their writing with a partner or in small groups first, then being invited to share with whole group. Shy learners often are deep thinkers, but reluctant to speak to large groups. Once the shy-deep thinker is affirmed by partner or group mates, s/he usually feels more confident and willing to speak out.</p>

<p>The idea of asking participants to organize their response in a pattern that emerges can be a powerful way for them to see what others are thinking and how differently members of the class respond to the same prompt/reading/problem. The participants will see that different is not necessarily wrong. More important for me, when I've opened up to the possibility that student responses can be correct if different, I've learned. What a bonus we teachers have...to have the daily privilege of learning as we teach.</p>

<p>Awesome! This reminds me of how I use post-it notes as exit tickets. Students get a sticky note and reflect on the class with 5 minutes left in the class period (I teach high school), and on the way out, they post it to the whiteboard (with ot without names) The next class that enters the room always stops to read the notes and it gets them excited about what's going to happen in their class that day! I swear it motivates them to pay closer attention because they want to leave their notes…</p>

I swear it motivates them to pay closer attention because they want to leave their notes for the next incoming class. </p>

<p>I like the little icons you use (especially since I teach graphic novels!) which provide specific ways for students to reflect but also offers choice.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I LOVE your little contrasting images of traditional classroom versus "new" flexible structures. Makes me think about how to get students to think "outside the box" when they are literally trapped in boxes (square, linear classrooms) all day!!!</p>
<p>(Technology allows one way "out" of the classroom box, but literally mashing up the classroom space is important too. I love interactive whiteboards, but I'd rather have students using Chrome books so we can continue to work from various spaces within our "box." Know where I can get some $ for 30 Chrome Books?)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>But I digress...thanks for more useful classroom tools that allow more PLAY and divergent thinking!</p>
<p>Best,</p>
