One technique I use is formative assessment with whiteboards. I will ask questions and students will then write their answers on their whiteboards. They will then hold them up for me to verify. They can also look at other people's whiteboards to compare answers. This helps them see if they are on the right track and often provides other examples of answers for open ended questions. I will sometimes have students answer questions on the whiteboards, but bring them up to my desk for a quick check. I can quickly make corrections and then send them on their way to do the next question. I've found that students are very engaged in these type of activities. It is also a way for me to provide instant feedback and gain valuable knowledge about where my students are in terms of learning the desired target. You can purchase whiteboard at many dollar stores or Walmart. However, look for a deal. You can even go to Home Depot or Menard's and buy large sheets of shower board and make your own. --See me if you have any questions or even suggestions for me. Scott

I recently learned how to create my own Avatar using www.voki.com. Follow this link to hear my Avatar character Manuel tell you about how I plan to use it. (UPDATE: The best way to record the voice is over the phone. It is also the easiest. Don't bother with the other methods because they don't work.)
