Blog Post #4

As a teacher, it is always important to ask questions in the classroom. By asking questions you are helping students think about what you are doing in the classroom and it will give them the s=chance to respond what they think it is you are asking for. In a couple classes I would have teachers that would ask if everyone understood what she said and if you did not respond as soon as she finished asking, she would move on to the next agenda for the class. While reading The Right Way to Ask Questions in the Classroom it says that as teachers we really do not need to know everything and that we should not assume that the students do not know anything. When teachers ask "Does everyone understand?" I would always think that it was the last chance to ask questions and if we did not have any questions then we would move on to the next subject. I agree with that part of the blog because that is how I felt at times when teachers would ask that question. You should ask questions that have to do with what you just went over that the students would actually have to think about it and can give you back an answer.
