Hi Angela, I think that building questions into Power Points is a great idea! Susan

I think you first have to examine when and why you are asking them for questions. Are you trying to draw them out, or as so many of us do at the end of a lecture set, we feel obligated to ask this question but don't really put much into it. I think you should allow plenty of time for a Q/A section when a large amount of new information was introduced and draw them out specifically. Ask them the first questions to get the ball rolling then let them take over. I build questions into my Power Points as each topic is covered to help this process along. We can then review and discuss as a group.
Hi Karla, Thanks for your post to the forum. I like to have students come into class each day with at least one question that they have written down, based on their homework/reading. I will also have several "canned" questions that I have been asked previously in other classes and will throw them out to the students. Best wishes for continued success in your teaching career.
