I have students who struggle with both shyness and speech issues, as well as English language learners. These students don't always volunteer to speak a lot in class. However, with technology like the Qball, my students will be excited to participate and be "heard." It will bring in a whole new element of fun every day! My students need a Qball to help develop communication skills. This ball will make a tremendous difference in my classroom by allowing all students to be heard. With the microphone, it allows their voice to be amplified and heard by all. This teaches the importance of vocalizing your thoughts and answers. My big focus is getting my students to communicate with one another and use words to describe their thoughts and feelings. With the QBall, valuable communication skills are being taught to better our children's lives and future. This ball makes things fun and interesting while also teaching the necessary skills of vocalizing. Communication is key in our classroom and a QBall will make that much more exciting. We need a Qball to encourage full class participation, while staying active and engaged in all our content areas! The Qball will make my students not only want to participate, but they will actually learn more! When everyone can hear what the teacher and their fellow students are saying, everyone wins. Tossing a ball around the room is much more fun and less intimidating than raising your hand. Imagine the excitement when I tell them they have permission to throw things in the classroom!
