The Q-Ball is a fairly new product on the market that has taken well in the education and presentation settings. It is an innovative way to get my students engaged in discussion while having fun. The Q-Ball gets students eager to participate and share their thoughts with their peers. Students that may not usually want to share, will want to catch the Q-Ball and give their opinions. Student participation will dramatically increase and I won't be losing the attention of my daydreamers while using this exciting tool. Not only is this a great tool to get students sharing out more in the classroom, it is also a great behavior management tool. The person with the Q-Ball has the floor, while the other students respectfully listen to their peers ideas. This tool will be a great addition to our classroom and greatly assist us in creating an inviting and safe classroom community.
