I have not yet received an answer to my question. I expect that this would be the result because I did something like this with my students and found that they didn't get answers in a timely manner. It brings to mind questions about site and places that offer quick answers to questions. Should we trust things like cha-cha (the text a question get an answer) for answers to questions that we have? Where should we refer students if they have a question?
In thinking about what i was going to share this week since I didn't get an answer, I came up with a question that I have had a lot that maybe some of you can help answer. How much or how many answers should we just give to students? This year, my school year has started much differently then it has in the past. We are trying to create a culture of learners instead of just students. We are also trying to can the role of the teacher to that of a facilitator. This changes the result of a student asking a question. How often should we just answer the questions and when should students be asked to find the answer? The students also all have a laptop that they can access during the school day. This is a change for them from what they are used to. How do we teach them to use their resources instead of immediately ask a teacher?
If any of you have had an experience similar to this and have advice or solutions, I would love to hear!
