They can be used to decide an order of students, for example Amy was picked out first so she will present first.]]> 2016-11-19 15:40:36 UTC https://padlet.com/aoife_shiel3/2owd1oj64gf5/wish/138881006 aoife_shiel3 https://padlet.com/aoife_shiel3/2owd1oj64gf5/wish/138881207 This can be used to show students how long they have left rather than keeping on having to tell them.

If the question is anonymous the teacher can answer the question openly on front of the class because more than likely more than one student doesn't know the answer. The teacher could write a note back to the student answering the question if it was not anonymous.]]> 2016-11-19 15:46:42 UTC https://padlet.com/aoife_shiel3/2owd1oj64gf5/wish/138881351 aoife_shiel3 https://padlet.com/aoife_shiel3/2owd1oj64gf5/wish/139117638 Students work together on a problem so that differentiation by grouping can be used, many heads can be put together to come up with better ideas and students will have more confidence giving a suggestion to a few students rather than the whole class.]]> 2016-11-21 15:16:08 UTC https://padlet.com/aoife_shiel3/2owd1oj64gf5/wish/139117638 aoife_shiel3 https://padlet.com/aoife_shiel3/2owd1oj64gf5/wish/139148151 To gain students attention after group work or when they are just talking clap a few times to a steady beat to gain the students' attention.]]> 2016-11-21 16:40:07 UTC https://padlet.com/aoife_shiel3/2owd1oj64gf5/wish/139148151 aoife_shiel3 https://padlet.com/aoife_shiel3/2owd1oj64gf5/wish/139204756 Have a white board or a big sheet of paper at the back of the classroom that students can write ideas/notes on such as they need more learning on a certain topic.]]> 2016-11-21 19:50:55 UTC https://padlet.com/aoife_shiel3/2owd1oj64gf5/wish/139204756 aoife_shiel3 https://padlet.com/aoife_shiel3/2owd1oj64gf5/wish/139205101 At a table with a group of four, place a large sheet of paper in the middle and have it divided up into four sections at the sides and one rectangle/square in the middle.
