WS #5

1. After you have explored the Questioning Toolkit , Part 2, and Part 3 websites, what types of questions do you generally use when you teach students?

I would have to say I rely on probing questions quite often. I also find as a teacher I have to use elaborating questions to ensure the students fully understand the concepts. I always enjoy leading discussion through questioning. Often in history you can help students draw parallels across different time periods for example.

2. What kinds of questions would lead students to think critically and at higher levels?

Divergent, probing, elaborating, inventive and provocative all require higher level thinking.

3. What kind of questions would complement the integration of technologies in your classroom

Any of the questions that require reflection or discovery would cater well to the use of technology.
