Mrs. Grochowalski’s Classroom Edit display name

https://www.donorschoose.org/classroom/7088588 Customize URL

I teach 8th grade science and many of my students are English language learners. When answering questions in class, most of my students do not speak loudly enough to be heard by everyone. I use up class time repeating what my students say so that everyone can hear. This repetition can be avoided if we have a microphone! The Q-ball is a microphone that students can toss to each other! We will have so much fun and increased student engagement with this technology in the classroom. As I am teaching a lesson, I can toss the Q-ball to students to let them participate in the discussion. Students can feel confident because everyone in the room can hear what the are saying without the teacher having to repeat it or say speak up.
