Questions and Feedback
Questions:
Teachers should ask multi-participant questions: Students answer questions simultaneously on mini-whiteboard or by multiple choice.
Feedback:
The BEST type of feedback is not the feedback, but the one given to the teacher, collect and read the work of the class, then plan and adjust your next lesson to meet the students needs.
