Challenge: Poor Participation

Teacher: Madison Presenza

“When I saw the ad video for the Qball, I instantly knew it would change my classroom. I was gifted my Qball as a back to school present last year in August of 2017. I instantly plugged in and showed my staff. The first day of school I was able to ask questions and use the Qball with students. They absolutely love the process, and I constantly see more hands when using it during discussion.”

Challenge:

The “deer in the headlights” example from the contest video puts our issue into words. Before the Qball, and on days when I don’t have it ready to use, I have the same hands going up during each class. Students depend on the few avid talkers to carry the conversation along, and I end up having to ask others to talk.

Impact:

I love seeing students who otherwise would not be brave enough to answer take a chance at talking in front of their peers. I also love the engagement the Qball brings by giving students a stronger and louder voice during class.

Why Qball?

I love the design, ease, and user friendly set up that the Qball offers. I knew that students would love the process as well.
