Students will be able to fully hear each other as shared conversations are magnified. From the most quiet talkers to those students that struggle to hear to knowing whose turn it is to speak, the Qball makes the conversation equitably flow. The Qball helps to increase student engagement by making participating in discussions and sharing ideas more fun. This will also give opportunities for achieving speaking and listening goals and building class culture of hearing and responding to each other. Students will want a chance to catch and throw the Qball, so they are going to have to stay engaged and participate to have a turn. This will greatly increase their presentation skills as they practice in their classroom setting.
