A Creative Classroom Application: “ Ask me! ” Hat

 

“Our classroom is our stage.”

Sometimes the teacher might get exhausted by the questions coming from the students. Not only the questions about the lesson but the questions such as “Can I sit next to my friend? Can I use my red pen? Which pencil should I use? Can I write it here?” These questions might seem innocent but answering that kind of questions every minute, every day seems actually a huge burden for the teacher. Moreover, the tolerance of the teacher decreases day by day through the year while they are on their favorite stage – the classroom.

However, there is a simple application that can be applied to class easily. Think that there are 4 hats – “Ask Me!” written on them – in the classroom hanging on the wall all the time. 4 students can wear hats when there is an activity going on in the class. If the other students have a question during the class, they can ask it to the hat wearers. If the students on duty do not know the answer, the can simply ask it to their teachers and convey it to their friends.

This application might lighten the burden on teachers’ shoulders for a bit and lets students take an active role in the learning process. This might also be called “peer teaching” if it is preferred to be used in that way.

Please comment below if you have any ideas more like this one.
