http://t.co/kgoazUk4 via @Jivespin Brilliant resource. Full of activities #ukedchat #historyteacher #ukedchat evening all. @mrlockyer teachers must be confident in subject knowledge to answer student questions #ukedchat #ukedchat I'll start. Hugely important. Fastest way to get feedback on what chdn understand. Need ask right question to get gd evidence tho I'm interested to know what tweeps think about the ratio of teacher's questions vs children's question. Who should ask more? #ukedchat @ukedchat @mrlockyer open questions to encourage thinking. The process of learning to think is often more valuable than the answer #ukedchat #ukedchat questions vital in learning process challenge and probe all responses though -don't settle for the simple. What do you know, what do you want to know #ukedchat Asking good questions can transform every child's life into one of enriching explorations... http://t.co/45TzkNFp #ukedchat It wasn't a Venn Diagram, it was a Euler Diagram... #SATs #ukedchat #edchat @mrlockyer #ukedchat incredibly important. If we aren't asking questions of ourselves s teachers and children as learners,we aren't teaching RT @anthonydking: Gove loses court ruling over cuts http://t.co/Wp7PxESW #ukedchat #edchat My bad questioning habit: only asking "are you sure?" if I know a child is wrong. Should ask when they're right too #ukedchat @MrWaldram How do you know what you don't know........? #ukedchat #ukedchat the best questions come from the students! That is why I live my job you never quite know what you are going to be asked @ICTmagic children, they should answer more too #ukedchat #ukedchat teachers need to ask questions, but learners asking questions is our aim and being able to answer them.

#ukedchat. Like it when student asks a question I can't answer and we have to explore answer together. GCSE drama exploration is ace. #ukedchat questioning and redirecting Q's helps develop construct thru assessment Rather than open & closed (especially for younger ones) I say skinny and fat Qs - anyone else? #ukedchat #ukedchat we're all lifelong learners - let's model by showing that we're always learning as well. @ibettison1 @employees #ukedchat but teachers also need to be confident to say I don't know yet, how do could we find out? RT @therealstephl: To education tweeps I recommend #ukedchat 8pm Thursdays -this week "How important are questions in teaching & the best type of questioning?" #ukedchat Good learning comes from children questioning each other too. #ukedchat interesting to ask students to teach rather than to present and to discuss the effect of questions once they finish... @ukedchat @mattpearson @mrlockyer #ukedchat higher order questioning is the key to promote thought. Time for students to answer is crucial- How many times do we see first response answers #ukedchat The question "So, how well is that working for you" challenges students to think about the results of what they do. #ukedchat The best questions are appropriate for the student, subject and situation at the time #ukedchat RT @Spenceict: Want to share and hear about innovative teaching? Virtual TeachMeet, 31st May 1900 BST http://t.co/qUKTlOAA #ukedchat @mrpeel That is a really interesting idea! What agegroup do you use this with? #ukedchat @MrWaldram Bronze, Silver and Gold questions work well too, as well as questions about things based on Bloom's Hierarchy #ukedchat @monty_math absolutely, agreed #ukedchat #ukedchat I'm a passionate believer in peer assessment via questioning of each other.

Topic: 'How important are questions in teaching & the best type of questioning?' #ukedchat Good questions will not always focus on achievement of outcomes but challenge thought instead @MrWaldram No, but I will now! #ukedchat #toptip #ukedchat Question should be used to extend learning not just becuase people what to see them in lessons RT @aknill: #ukedchat teachers need to ask questions, but learners asking questions is our aim and being able to answer them. @super_sixfive Super. I'm in agreement on all fronts. #JustChecking #ukedchat @mrlockyer #ukedchat all 11-18 when working in groups - not all the time! needs to be established as practice but can really work well @aknill Following on from that - children being able to answer each other's questions as well #ukedchat #ukedchat In English develop comprehension skills by giving them the answers and asking them to make up the questions. @Monty_Math @ibettison1 @employees #ukedchat indeed can we get rid of teachers who claim to know everything - that is not an image we want. #ukedchat questions should be used to aid discovery RT @Jivespin: Plenary ideas PowerPoint http://t.co/kgoazUk4 via @Jivespin Brilliant resource.

Don't deny self realisation. @mrpeel I find 'why' gets shrugs or 'i dunno' I try for 'how do you know?' or 'what makes you think that?' #ukedchat RT @AngusWillson: #ukedchat "Prohibit teachers from asking any questions they already know the answer to."

I sometimes use counters or lollysticks @mrg_ict which they can use as talktokens. Once they're gone, no more Qs #ukedchat @mrlockyer @MrG_ICT question i find need a focus but should be led by the children and how fast they are learning/developing #ukedchat RT @craigneilsmith: #ukedchat the key is having the right learning environment that allows questioning to develop without fear of looking silly or failure @Miss_e80 very true #ukedchat @nickotkdIV and where to find answers if you're not around, I use Google with the class so they can see how I find out #ukedchat RT @craigneilsmith: #ukedchat the key is having the right learning environment that allows questioning to develop without fear of looking silly or failure #ukedchat question ball to help kids expand on initial questions to then develop ideas @mrpeel #ukedchat "Why?" is the best question. It digs deep to check understanding as well as misconception.As well as check for passiveness @sarahh10 And years later a very thoughtful 6th form girl said same thing: 'Mrs E, don't ever stop digressing.' So I didn't! #ukedchat Curious minds = successful minds #ukedchat @MrWaldram @mrg_ict Talk tokens are fab differentiate the number depending on passive/dominant learners too #ukedchat Part II: A child once said: can I ask a question? I said yes and took his token.He learnt from that little mistake. #ukedchat @SwayGrantham #ukedchat you're obviously much politer than I am! Actually, I don't get the negative response... @rashush2 Yep - it threw a lot of my kids... all numbers in the right spot, but some 12's were written one digit in each circle. #ukedchat Questioning by sts shd be inspired by a carefully crafted lesson & channeled by a tchr; not being afraid 2 explore alt directions #ukedchat @ePaceonline @bbeclrc very much agree. Probing thinking and engaging in discussion #ukedchat

#ukedchat make all learners accountable by not allowing hands up, giving time to think, then take turns to discuss.then choose randomly. How do you collect, mark and give feedback on ICT work to KS3? Tried a few methods but still searching for an effective one! #ukedchat @SwayGrantham I use ICT as well, but still explicitly teach finding info in information books. #oldtimer #ukedchat #ukedchat I use questioning to test understanding &redirect Q's to build construct and dev understanding RT @craigneilsmith: #ukedchat the key is having the right learning environment that allows questioning to develop without fear of looking silly or failure Effective questioning can lead to a deviation from lesson plan-are some teachers afraid of this, they may move out of comfort zone #ukedchat @mrlockyer #ukedchat If I set a talk task, I ask chn who don't have hands up. Sets expctn of participation & somtimes get great answers! RT @Shaz_Yu: Curious minds = successful minds #ukedchat I bet teachers ask more questions per day than children. Wrong way round... (not including 'Can I go to the toilet...?' #ukedchat #ukedchat inquiry questions followed by inquiry tasks. That way they all answer as well as provoke new questions. @ukedchat Children should be encouraged to ask the questions of the teacher, of each other and of themselves #ukedchat @EmSnaps Good problem solving skills! Shame they'll get no credit... #ukedchat @mrlockyer Pick someone to ask someone else... #ukedchat #ukedchat Questions are wonderful for AfL. so easy #ukedchat I ask what do you think? They reply I don't know - yes, but what do you THINK? Questions need to probe to help learning @craigneilsmith #ukedchat absolutely.a classroom that is intimidating,a non-learning zone,makes for lack in confidence and poor questioning

time for the children to answer! RT @KnikiTea: #ukedchat Great question opener for kids is "I wonder", especially in conjunction with an intriguing image (I sometimes get children to discuss in random pairs, then ask one what the other said) #ukedchat (I sometimes get children to discuss in random pairs, then ask one what the other said) #ukedchat We have an awe and wonder question wall for children to ask thought provoking questions. We use one a week as our class thunk! #ukedchat @mrpeel #ukedchat Consider that nicked! Thanks! @kezmerrelda agreed there #ukedchat Much to be said for KWL / enquiry based approaches 'what do we want to find out?' #ukedchat A question matrix which is differentiated by the types of questions work well - or to cut up the matrix and choose for ability #ukedchat @syded06 @PeterSpencer88 I hope not #ukedchat #ukedchat question walls are great for plenaries,especially getting unreluctant less confident children to pick a question to answer #ukedchat no good, tweetdeck is so slow, I'm going back to my APP forms... @Educationchat Link for kagan structures? #ukedchat @rashush2 Actually should be "Please may can I go toilet?" #ukedchat @mrlockyer A mixture,some dont like talkin without rehearsal so I need to ask othrs the same thing before them,some are just lazy! #ukedchat Questioning techniques can be used to differentiate instruction in the moment #ukedchat @mberry we start all topics with that Q #ukedchat #ukedchat make time for pupils to think of and then ask questions. Teach what makes a good question and label praise when they ask one. Asking for an answer beginning with "Maybe"... so they're not committing themselves too much #ukedchat #ukedchat I love the lessons that end up so far from where you started, that creativity and enthusiasm for knowledge is amazing @MrTomtheTeacher #ukedchat no worries!

@rashush2 Yeah I thought so. Very logical minds! #ukedchat #ukedchat good idea is to give them the answers and get them to try to figure out what the question is! Thinking skills! @Carlsberg40 @super_sixfive @ICTmagic think, pair, share is good for that #ukedchat #ukedchat children should realise that asking is good and encouraged, not only allowed RT @craigneilsmith: #ukedchat random can be engaging But targeted questioning is crucial Coloured lolly sticks helps target question. Another simple one is the old: 'a ripe tomato' - what could the question be? #ukedchat Getting learners to question assumptions matters. Something we should be doing too. #ukedchat #ukedchat restrain from answering every question and instead throw it back in a scaffolded way . @nickotkdIV and when someone turns up the voltage in the power supply and ruins the internet you can still manage a lesson!! #ukedchat Anyone run specific maths program for potential Oxbridge/advanced candidates? In addition to TAG? Which year groups? #ukedchat #mathchat Questions can be adapted to fit individual needs for academic development #ukedchat #ukedchat great to use lolly sticks, have children who never offer to answer questions but love if their name is pulled out and have a go ! Young children ask questions constantly, this diminishes as they get older. Why? #ukedchat @davidhunter how do you overcome the students' 'fear of failure' reaction to randomly choosing? #ukedchat @super_sixfive and we should concentrate on that rather than criteria #ukedchat @Kezmerrelda #ukedchat here here! All children should be taught to question properly, it encourages learning,builds self esteem I think the biggest mistake teachers make when asking questions of children is not giving them enough time to think of an answer. #ukedchat @porkpiebaby I've done this - works well #ukedchat

@ks2teacher @mrpeel #ukedchat In moderation though... Didn't Socrotes drive people crazy with over use of this particular line of enquiry? @Carlsberg40 that's what I said, kind of... You have 2 craft the learning experience. #ukedchat @mrg_ict i prefer individual wbs and then getting ch to swap or teach a friend. i think theyre the most underrated classroom tool! #ukedchat RT @EmSnaps: best questions - those posed by children that allow your lessons to veer off on an exciting tangent! #ukedchat love these! @Educationchat isn't it depressing when you think you going to get interesting question and it turns out to be can I go to toilet #ukedchat @jamieclaytonleo #ukedchat if it means learning is enhanced then going off plan is better @Kezmerrelda Ace. We use that for a morning challenge - this is my answer: what could the question be? #ukedchat @SwayGrantham sounds like past experience haunting you!! #ukedchat @MrWaldram #ukedchat that links in to Thinkers' Keys, the Question Key is one of them...we have RE/PE sets of keys using this @mberry it's hard to know what you want to know in the beginning though, how can I tell you if I don't know anything?! #ukedchat #ukedchat remember no1 teacher of all time=Socrates... all about left-field questions and *fake* positions, create interesting uncertainty! @MrWaldram agreed - first saw it in Adelaide - that place taught me a lot! #ukedchat #ukedchat I like the random name selected to hear ideas generated by a group @MichaelaPorter2 Always!!! Happens at least twice a day. Heart sinks. Feel like telling them off but don't want a wet patch... #ukedchat @Monty_Math #ukedchat but does hands up mean real engagement?

@Carlsberg40 Can't just let 'em turn up and say 'what shall we do today?' Role of teacher to manage/facilitate learning #ukedchat #ukedchat I think it's important to not always answer chn's questions - but always question their answers promotes deep thinking @Educationchat teachers renowned for butting in too quickly when asking questions ! #ukedchat @EmSnaps @Kezmerrelda God also for letting the WALT reveal itself! #ukedchat @Porkpiebaby I am interested by this but don't quite understand it, perhaps you could share an example sometime #ukedchat @CarrotyCarrots #ukedchat Probably because they wear out the word "Why?" by 2.5 years old ;-) Chn also assume everything has cause/agency #ukedchat Lets as teachers stop talking for a moment! How do we use questions in our rooms ie boxes, in displays... #ukedchat best question is the one that teachers can't answer right away @ibettison1 @davidhunter Encourage... 'good mistake' if they get it wrong, then get children to explore why/how we could solve it #ukedchat #ukedchat Try asking questions with no answers, and waiting for the fun to start Best Question = 'How could you improve that question?' Makes children think about the quality of their questioning! #UKEdChat The best question is 1 that makes everyone stop and think, even the teacher, comes from any1/anywhere & starts a new discussion #ukedchat Asking "how do you know that" share the learning experience with the class #ukedchat #ukedchat Use questions from children at the start of a new topic, these then shape what we do over the next few weeks! @MarieWallace7 with lolly sticks it's any random childsome good use for lolly sticks, but when you want to assess a partic child #ukedchat #ukedchat is in full swing.

#SCITT #PGCE #PGDEplacement #ukedchat visual learners need 17 seconds to process a question @Educationchat how do you know when they're just not going to answer and when they're just thinking? #ukedchat #ukedchat one of the core issues is to get the kids past the need to find a right answer - the best questions make ur head hurt @DaisyAsana Agree mini whiteboards underused, but have spent over 70 at poundshop buying these. Any solution? #ukedchat @SwayGrantham No problem! Let's catch up by DM :) #ukedchat #ukedchat I like the 'here's the answer, now what's the question' activity. Really focuses learners minds and makes them think! Opening discussions with "there are no silly questions" can create an incredible climate of confidence for students to ask stuff #ukedchat @nickotkdIV teehee i <3 ICT in our school...honest #ukedchat @ICTEvangelist but not to stick to a lesson plan just because it's there - deviate and follow their path, sometimes! #ukedchat #ukedchat as ks1 teacher good old show and tell is good for getting them to ask questions and they love it. Great for tangents too! #ukedchat One of my most used is 'what do you think?' Allow chn to use their thoughts & ideas. Direct further questions accordingly. #whatif I like to see a balance of open and closed Qs and engaging everyone from the start. Easy. Try it with fifty kids, like in my day #ukedchat #ukedchat the best questions? Ones students ask themselves. Ones all students respond to. Ones that lead learning in a formative direction. Istanbul guide mentioned Kemal Ataturk. I asked a question. Said he had no time to discuss that now. Felt as many children must. #ukedchat #ukedchat get groups to compose questions, helps with less confident pupils

@sarahh10 Yes, For the teacher as well. I taught only A level English for a long time & every session was very fluid. #ukedchat @ethinking perhaps questioning is sometimes too easy. Challenge is desirable and difficult #ukedchat #ukedchat the best questions force you to examine inner core of the issue and move forward with renewed understanding - pretty terrifying @thinkpink33 that is a loooooooooong time when you're all stood waiting - how do you stop the other chn getting bored? #ukedchat #ukedchat @Educationchat I'd agree with that. How long is the ideal time to wait though? @MarieWallace7 @Educationchat bad habit: only asking "Are you sure?" when I know chn are wrong. Shld do it when they're right too. #ukedchat @SusanElkinJourn @syded06 I think sometimes we can bombard children with questions not allowing time for thinking/questioning #ukedchat Pass the parcel plenary. Cards inside a parcel with questions on to reflect on attitudes/skills/knowledge used/learned #ukedchat @Jigman101 No problem! How do we get older children to understand that they don't know everything and there is more to learn? #ukedchat @sh_hanes Triptico IWB tools have a great framework for the 'guess the question' activity. Highly recommended #ukedchat @Carlsberg40 I concur and is what I said in my first tweet #ukedchat @sh_hanes me too, especially when they really think outside of the box! #ukedchat @PeterSpencer88 @syded06 I agree. #ukedchat Not enough thinking time. #ukedchat get learners to write questions & post on Moodle/Twitter etc or on paper. Great random name selector http://t.co/FqYBM387 from @johnmclear #ukedchat #ukedchat best ?s often disguised as statements: "Go on"/"Unpack that"/"Say why he's wrong" -> all about fruitful debate, forum talk

@clareswhere would it make a difference if I tweeted about an Outstanding lesson? #UKEdChat I could take out the word 'just' >>>> questioning is important to assess what children already know, what they don't know #ukedchat #edchat assess what they've learnt often get them to to write on a post it Qs they think I would ask then they pick out of a hat and answer each others. #ukedchat @teacherofy5 yes but for that you make sure you know the stick that is going to be chosen! Cheating I know, but for a good cause. #ukedchat @toon_blue #ukedchat I have got year 9s to ask questions to year 10 students who have studied topic already - a bit of revision for year10 #ukedchat use 'Thunks' as a way of getting pupils to compose questions. I also used to do lateral thinking exercises at end of lessons @ks2teacher @kezmerrelda @mrlockyer drama and enquiry/context learning is great for encouraging children to ask questions #ukedchat RT @MarieWallace7: #ukedchat great to use lolly sticks, have children who never offer to answer questions but love if their name is pulled out and have a go ! @sh_hanes @Educationchat They say the average teacher waits 3 seconds - 10 is more productive #ukedchat #ukedchat The best question is 'Why?' #ukedchat basing qs on Bloom's works well. Good for differentiation, stretch the most able, but ensure no-one gets stuck at purely recall qs RT @AngusWillson: #ukedchat "Prohibit teachers from asking any questions they already know the answer to." Postman and Weingartner RT @ks2teacher: #ukedchat question walls are great for plenaries,especially getting unreluctant less confident children to pick a question to answer @SwayGrantham Connectivism is relevant here - new knowledge etc connect with what we know etc already. We build on prior learning. #ukedchat

@sh_hanes Until they give an answer or pass.

Bowing out now. Hope rest of session goes well. #ukedchat The question that is not asked enough is "Who decides?" Get to grips with where power resides. @PeterSpencer88 @SusanElkinJourn maintaining pace of lesson can lead to reduced thinking time. Easy trap to fall into #ukedchat #ukedchat good questioning is a habit, but with the pressure of exams on the horizon, it's a habit that is easy to fall out of. #ukedchat Pupils need to learn that some questions have complex or no answers and that the answer is not "at the back of the book" #ukedchat I open up pretty much every lesson with,"Today,our L.O. is ###.

Planning how you take learning forward using questioning is SO important! @MrWaldram agree - probing deeper is the key to deeper learning and understanding - as is teaching someone else #ukedchat RT @ePaceonline: #ukedchat Give a set of answers and ask what the questions could be.

Your 'rickety old smartboard', that made me smile:) RT @mattbritland: Using Facebook Groups in Schools: http://t.co/SsIgtW2X #ukedchat #edchat #ukedchat Answers are as important as the questions! How we as teachers respond is vital in making pupils think for themselves. @thinkpink33 I've done that but sometimes I just get an outright refusal to answer - even if it's an opinion question!! grrrr #ukedchat I want to develop questioning hat allows discussion that I can 'sit back and watch'...#ukedchat #ukedchat hot seating always a nice way for them to generate questions @ethinking agreed and consistency in class would help #ukedchat questioning = assessing tool and that should inform the next lesson's planning #edchat #ukedchat @epaceonline yup, this works well - great to do in partners #ukedchat We use learning metaphors to help young people to connect with question and ideas they have #ukedchat #learning RT @Educationchat: Kagan structures are a great way to ask questions in fun, exciting ways and get everyone answering. #ukedchat #ukedchat Just completed essay on scientific enquiry. Teacher questioning pupils and pupils Qing teachers is key! (If tricky at times) #ukedchat Good way to make questions harder - ask students "Why is it NOT this?" instead of "What is it?" #ukedchat You can tell whether a person is clever by their answers. You can tell whether a person is wise by their questions #ukedchat @Heatherleatt blooms and question starters http://t.co/rPczTiD2 @super_sixfive #ukedchat Short ?s often most powerful: "Why?"/"And?"/"So..."/"Because..."/"Why not?"

useful things in planning! Planning how you take learning forward using questioning is SO important! RT @AngusWillson: #ukedchat The question that is not asked enough is "Who decides?" Get to grips with where power resides. @MarieWallace7 @teacherofy5 I used to colour code , that way chn thought it was random, but I at least had an idea who I wld get! #ukedchat #ukedchat I'm usually keen on routine & on precision when talking about teaching, but these formula approaches to questioning leave me cold. @MrWaldram @martindalepaul I do too, they're pretty good at it now #ukedchat RT @AngusWillson: #ukedchat The question that is not asked enough is "Who decides?" Get to grips with where power resides. RT @carrotycarrots: RT @ePaceonline: #ukedchat Give a set of answers and ask what the questions could be. @super_sixfive Often times "I don't know" is the respons to "Why". What would be a good follow up to this? #ukedchat RT @MBDoe: @super_sixfive #ukedchat Short ?s often most powerful: "Why?"/"And?"/"So..."/"Because..."/"Why not?" #ukedchat if anyone has done any OAA activities they generate great questions even with young ones!

I always enjoyed using LOs that were questions - chn know that when they can offer a relevant answer they have achieved #ukedchat RT @ePaceonline: #ukedchat You can tell whether a person is clever by their answers. You can tell whether a person is wise by their questions #ukedchat I think teachers should be spontaneous in their use of questioning, adapting to class, topic and student. #ukedchat @ks2teacher here's a hoop. How would you like to jump through it kids Pose a question, allow thinking time, requestion if needed then bounce the q to another pupil e.g do you agree with ______? #ukedchat RT @davidhunter: #ukedchat make all learners accountable by not allowing hands up, giving time to think, then take turns to discuss.then choose randomly. RT @CalvinKipling: #ukedchat Pupils need to learn that some questions have complex or no answers and that the answer is not "at the back of the book" Following an ITT obs, the trainee thought 5-6 questions per lesson was enough. I taught a shot putt lesson asking 96 questions. #ukedchat @ethinking hey yourself. Check me, down with the kids #ukedchat @SwayGrantham Will do - this is my first #ukedchat hour and am fascinated - will get back to you after 9! :) RT @oldandrewuk: #ukedchat I think teachers should be spontaneous in their use of questioning, adapting to class, topic and student. Late to the party but here goes - who knows the one question kids are asked more than any other during primary school? #ukedchat RT @ePaceonline: #ukedchat You can tell whether a person is clever by their answers. You can tell whether a person is wise by their questions New Blog Post - Using Twitter to aid revision and stop panicky students from panicking http://t.co/HGQFjA4l #historyteacher #ukedchat @mrlockyer tell them I don't know and suggest we find out together #ukedchat #ukedchat students with too much teacher dependence

ask too many pointless Qs . Question vouchers encourage thinking and better Qs @sarahh10 @educationchat I've used techniques like that but its more disruptive behaviour beginning as they're bored waiting!! #ukedchat @oldandrewuk completely agree but it takes strong subject knowledge and confidence #ukedchat Pose, pause, pounce, bounce is a nice term for it #ukedchat @porkpiebaby @sh_hanes @Educationchat it's at least two or three biscuits' worth. #ukedchat @lozalpops A metaphor, or an example in the classroom? #UKEdChat @CarrotyCarrots #ukedchat. When children are three they constantly ask 'Why'...how well I remember those days! @Carlsberg40 @teacherofy5 yes I colour code as well. Very good assessment #ukedchat RT @AngusWillson: #ukedchat "Prohibit teachers from asking any questions they already know the answer to." Postman and Weingartner @Kezmerrelda: @SheliBB @jamwah888 yes love that approach! Maybe we should do a joint mantle one day!! That would be fabulous! #ukedchat questioning is of course not bombarding the poor kiddies with tons of q's every single lesson - be selective #ukedchat #ukedchat what happens after question is asked is as important as the Q. Think pair share, teacher listens and chooses pairs to answer. Most asked question in primary school - "Are you a school dinner?" #ukedchat RT @deepexperience1: #ukedchat Good way to make questions harder - ask students "Why is it NOT this?" instead of "What is it?" Make it fun, lots of ILT stuff for this, ie bingo, pick a number to reveal a question. Extend it for S&C, #ukedchat @craigneilsmith this can be the same for teachers. It's sometimes hard to remember how it feels to be back in the learning seat. #ukedchat

Asking questions instead of giving instructions / info resulted in deeper engagement and accelerated learning. #ukedchat What would happen if, the basis of many a great discovery #ukedchat Loving a bit of @sirwilshaw on here... #ukedchat @Heatherleatt so true. It's amazing how quickly you can get pupils answering each others' questions by carefully responding! #ukedchat @mrlockyer ask them how they think they could

@ethinking we need to build confidence and resiliance so pupils are happy to explore and not be afraid to get things "wrong" #ukedchat #ukedchat I don't think it matters what Q is asked or by whom if teacher genuinely listens to the answer and uses it for what happens next. @mrlockyer got to put at least a couple of focus Qs in there - you need the Qs that are gonna challenge their next level #ukedchat @craigneilsmith @oldandrewuk I always found planning questions hard as I never knew the things that would be relevant #ukedchat Mine love a quiz have a choice of Qs from lower to higher order. All choose higher as they get competative! HarderQs=more points #ukedchat @ks2teacher: #ukedchat We open lessons with vocab and chn predict LO... Often come up with better ones than me... Gets them talking ASAP @MrWaldram Do it all the time, for A,S and K of the lesson, just one per lesson #ukedchat @ks2teacher: #ukedchat ever met a teacher that doesn't like being questioned. I encourage my chn to ask questions of their learning #ukedchat. And I don't think good questioning can be planned for. You have to be in the moment and it has to come naturally! @oldandrewuk Surely most would agree that this is just common sense! #ukedchat asking questions, discussing, using logic - p4c & enquiry led completely built into the process of these #ukedchat #ukedchat Review and reflection activities containing question. We have 75 ways to make the learning stick! #ukedchat popped away... have we talked about hinge questions yet? @bekblayton Thx!

#ukedchat give the answer, ask what the question could be. Bridge those thoughts baby! RT @syded06: RT @TeacherDevTrust: Great teacher questions: "what did you think of that lesson?" #ukedchat couldn't agree more @ePaceonline: #ukedchat You can tell whether a person is clever by their answers. You can tell whether a person is wise by their questions @Katie_Bacon check this out RT "@mattbritland: Using Facebook Groups in Schools: http://t.co/ITk3vtuI #ukedchat #edchat" Don't forget to join in #DLchat after #UKedchat tonight and share your digital leader news @SwayGrantham @oldandrewuk perhaps it is knowing the skills of good questioning and not planning good questions that is key! #ukedchat @mrlockyer Miss, is the bible fiction or non-fiction? #ukedchat RT @teacherofy5 very true, it snowballs #ukedchat @tishylishy I think you've a good group of questioners learning in early years too. Inate curiosity FTW. #ukedchat @Heatherleatt I think because it is entirely skills rather than content based, which actually makes it more difficult for pupils #ukedchat @SwayGrantham #ukedchat which testament? .@Heatherleatt "Once you ask pupils to raise hands you create 2 classrooms in your classroom" @dylanwiliam inspired change in me #ukedchat #ukedchat At then end of my course someone always asks "so no one really knows the answer do they?". I teach economics. @talktofile but you and I know that OfSTED like to see those group questioning/discussion sessions! #ukedchat @nickotkdIV agreed and a difficult conversation with a trainee teacher #ukedchat #ukedchat Best question I asked on atomic structure 'Why is everything we discussed in the last 45 mins totally wrong?' - great response..

@jackieschneider @swaygrantham agreed not enough q of pseudo science strategies in schools - braingym anyone? #ukedchat #ukedchat I think questioning is very important for teachers...I think Gove needs questioning on most of his bonkers policies #ukedchat Let's not forget the merits of debate and Venn charts easy to make in #powerpoint 2010 #ukedchat RT @deepexperience1: #ukedchat Best question I asked on atomic structure - 'Why is everything we discussed in the last 45 mins totally wrong?' - great response.. @mrlockyer #ukedchat best question I ever had, "Mr Hall, why have you got sweat patches under your arms?" RT @SheliBB: Don't forget to join in #DLchat after #UKedchat tonight and share your digital leader news Anyone use paired questioning ? MPG Buddies, can be good also for those quieter less confident learners. #ukedchat #ukedchat Best/worst question: "What's fire made of?" #ukedchat when they say I forget ask "if you hadn't forgotten what would you tell me" amazing how often they then give you an answer @jackieschneider I like the sounds of this but have not heard of it before? Tell me more? #ukedchat @craigneilsmith #ukedchat Complaining about the wrong type of learning is not helpful. "dominated by learning" of any sort is rare. #ukedchat best question ever asked "Ben Nevis Who's he?" #ukedchat Best single ? to either starter OR plenary a project-window lesson: "What's next?" #givethemcontrol #ukedchat best I was ever asked: where did the 10 go miss? When I was teaching VAT & invoicing. Not one of my strengths... I had no idea! Most depressing question: "are we near the end of the lesson yet?" #ukedchat RT @MichaelaPorter2: 'I have no particular talent, I am merely inquisitive' Einstein #ukedchat Last 5 minutes of #ukedchat. Final thoughts?

#ukedchat Make the questions fun - worth planning. http://t.co/3e0eOh3e RT @TeacherToolkit: My example of Outstanding Questioning, on @GuardianTeach using the #PPPB Pose, Pause, Pounce, Bounce #ukedchat http://t.co/BcTEGnqh @lulabelle100 Yes, its incredibly useful. Especially with deeper questions, because it encourages discussion. #ukedchat RT @SheliBB: If you have any digital leader news, please share it and inspire others tonight in #dlchat at 9 after #ukedchat hope to see you! Plz RT :) Great iPads in education discussion http://t.co/Cqpbql15 #ipaded #ipadedchat #abed #ukedchat #edtech @SheliBB oh yes! Interviews really helped our diary & newspaper writing - interviewing titanic survivors in pairs #ukedchat @craigneilsmith @oldandrewuk yes and again being brave enough to ask questions that may lead somewhere unexpected! #ukedchat #ukedchat I've been thinking about the police & that questioning is @ heart of their craft 2. They can't plan...they develop instincts RT @anthonydking: Gove loses court ruling over cuts http://t.co/Wp7PxESW #ukedchat #edchat @SheliBB what is role on wall? they sound like great ideas #ukedchat @MartindalePaul i bet they do!

Good luck recruiting! #ukedchat @SheliBB #ukedchat We also recently had TA in role as Billy Bones & chn hot seated her so many questions - got them so engaged! @ethinking They can plan, that's why they leave the suspect in the cells etc. In fact vitally important to Police work. #ukedchat If you have any digital leader news, please share it and inspire others tonight in #dlchat at 9 after #ukedchat hope to see you!Plz RT :) RT @ICE2911: #ukedchat when they say I forget ask

SirWilshaw #Ukedchat @davidhunter @deputymitchell Promoted hands down Heatherleatt policy for years. Teachers often resistant to it as a strategy.

police & that questioning is @ heart of their craft 2.

@swaygrantham a blog about the blind acceptance of learning styles as fact https://t.co/mIrsgDrp #ukedchat most soul destroying: Why is English such a drain on my life? :( #ukedchat Final thoughts - one great question can change a student's entire view of a subject RT @ethinking: #ukedchat @Monty_Math @jackieschneider @swaygrantham a blog about the blind acceptance of learning styles as fact https://t.co/mIrsgDrp (Mine was, and in fact regularly is, 'Why are your cheeks so red?") #ukedchat Last thoughts: ask the most mind boggling questions right at the end of class. Then say you'll answer it next lesson. #ukedchat @afl_teaching I'm pleased to hear that. 'coz I don't think I've asked a single question today. Answered plenty... But not asked. #ukedchat #ukedchat Y8 asked,"If gravity was really discovered just by an apple falling on Isaac Newton's head, why wasn't it discovered earlier?" @jackieschneider @syded06 @ukedchat i agree but it's getting them used to explaining themselves when they're right and wrong #ukedchat Great hosts coming up on #ukedchat - @ICTEvangelist (24 May), @theheadsoffice (31 May) & ICTmagic (7 Jun). Join the chat @8pm every Thurs. It's 9pm. Thanks to @mrlockyer for hosting #ukedchat. Session will be archived @ http://t.co/UNmQLTKF. New poll @ http://t.co/Bj9I2kv0
