I like to make questions personal and relatable to lecture. Often times the student is willing to share more information in this scenario.

Silence. Years ago I was told about the “5 second ruleâ€, in that if a teacher/instructor is silent for 5 seconds someone will speak up and ask a question. I found that In one of the videos mentioning the “personalizing†of the questions. I find that gets students participating. And as stated, using this technique one must be careful, or you can lose your class.
Hi Donald, That's a great strategy to get your students interacting!

I've redirected questions to student and by doing so makes the think, thus they develop a better understanding and retention is better.
while doing a power-point I usually give my students a Scenario and have each one take a part in discussing on how to solve the problem it usually gets every one involved in the discussion.
I have the students make questions from the lecture then get them on teams to review and answer the questions.
I breK AFTER A FEW POWERPOINT SLIDES AND ASK QUESTIONS SO THAT IT KEEPS THEIR FOCUS. THEY KNOW THE MATERIAL BECAUSE IT WAS JUST PRESENTED TO THEM
