    20:01:34 JazzieDe#ukedchat Is it the questions you ask or how you askthem and how you listen/your responses andopportunities that are more important?

    20:02:51 ibettison1@mrlockyer teachers must be confident in subject

    knowledge to answer student questions #ukedchat

    20:02:55 MrTomtheTeacher#ukedchat I'll start. Hugely important. Fastest way toget feedback on what chdn understand. Need ask rightquestion to get gd evidence tho

    20:03:05 ICTmagicI'm interested to know what tweeps think about theratio of teacher's questions vs children's question. Whoshould ask more? #ukedchat

    20:03:07 anthonydking@ukedchat @mrlockyer open questions to encouragethinking. The process of learning to think is often more

    valuable than the answer #ukedchat

    20:03:35 mrpeel#ukedchat questions vital in learning process -challenge and probe all responses though -don't settlefor the simple.

    The art of questions - How important arequestions in teaching? What is the best type ofquestioning?

    20:06:22 Bectully#ukedchat. Like it when student asks a question I can'tanswer and we have to explore answer together.GCSE drama exploration is ace.

    20:06:26 CI_JenKaye#ukedchat questioning and redirecting Q's helps

    develop construct thru assessment

    20:06:34 MrWaldramRather than open & closed (especially for youngerones) I say skinny and fat Qs - anyone else?#ukedchat

    20:06:34 aknill#ukedchat we're all lifelong learners - let's model byshowing that we're always learning as well.

    20:06:36 Monty_Math@ibettison1 @employees #ukedchat but teachers alsoneed to be confident to say I don't know yet, how docould we find out?

    20:06:53 LeilaGhaddabRT @therealstephl: To education tweeps I recommend#ukedchat 8pm Thursdays -this week "How importantare questions in teaching & the best type ofquestioning?"

    20:07:19 SusanElkinJourn#ukedchat Good learning comes from childrenquestioning each other too.

    20:07:21 mrpeel#ukedchat interesting to ask students to teach ratherthan to present and to discuss the effect of questionsonce they finish...

    20:07:22 inspirechild @ukedchat @mattpearson @mrlockyer #ukedchathigher order questioning is the key to promote thought.

    20:07:30 jamieclaytonleoTime for students to answer is crucial- How many timesdo we see first response answers #ukedchat

    20:07:31 anthonydkingThe question "So, how well is that working for you"challenges students to think about the results of whatthey do. #ukedchat

    20:07:34 syded06The best questions are appropriate for the student,subject and situation at the time #ukedchat

    20:08:30 mrpeel@mrlockyer #ukedchat all 11-18 when working ingroups - not all the time! needs to be established aspractice but can really work well

    20:08:32 SwayGrantham@aknill Following on from that - children being able toanswer each other's questions as well #ukedchat

    20:08:33 SusanElkinJourn#ukedchat In English develop comprehension skills bygiving them the answers and asking them to make up

    the questions.

    20:26:38 UFAorgRT @ukedchat: It's 8pm. Time for #ukedchat with@mrlockyer hosting. Topic: 'How important are

    questions in teaching & the best type of questioning?'

    20:26:38 TeacherToolkit@Heatherleatt here you go Heather.http://t.co/BcTEGnqh#Blooms #AfL #UKEdChat

    20:26:39 deepexperience1#ukedchat The best questions need good planning toprovide challenge...and time for considered responses

    20:26:42 MartindalePaul@ks2teacher Ever tried starting the lesson, then after afew mins seeing if they can guess the objective?#ukedchat

    20:26:46 sh_hanes #ukedchat @Jivespin triptico!? First time hearing ofthat. Thanks. I have a promethean board though...

    20:27:10 craigneilsmith#ukedchat even with non readers- Shakespeare isgreat to stimulate questions and discussion

    20:27:11 MrWaldramAlongside the 'how do you know?' is the 'go on...' keeppushing them for an answer, develop vocab. Having todo this a lot #ukedchat

    20:27:19 mbseducationRT @teacherofy5: questioning is important to assesswhat children already know, what they don't know

    #ukedchat #edchat assess what they've learnt20:27:29 MrWaldram @super_sixfive ... and 'how?' #ukedchat

    20:27:30 TeacherToolkit@LeilaGhaddab it's our bread and butter at the end ofthe day. I'm looking to improve, every. single. day.#UKEdChat

    20:27:32 ePaceonline#ukedchat Give a set of answers and ask what thequestions could be.

    20:27:37 Heatherleatt#ukedchat get pupils to pose own questions - "what if"or "how" makes them think.

    20:27:40 ks2teacher@MartindalePaul #ukedchat no! Going to try that one.Nice

    20:27:45 Porkpiebaby@ks2teacher #ukedchat I do quite the opposite - don'talways start with the LO and ask the kids to tell mewhat it is once they know

    20:28:20 thinkpink33@deepexperience1 #ukedchat exactly what I wasthinking - preplanning questions for certain students isreally effective to stretch top

    20:28:21 DeputyMitchell#ukedchat questions are the only useful things inplanning! Planning how you take learning forward using

    questioning is SO important!

    20:28:55 ICTEvangelist@ethinking disagree at some levels. It goes to thepurpose of education. Far more realistic facilitation atprimary. #ukedchat

    20:29:05 MarieWallace7@ePaceonline yes I love that activity Some of thequestions children give are very clever! #ukedchat

    20:29:09 MrWaldram@martindalepaul YES! I do this. Love it. They get soconfused. #ukedchat

    20:31:56 oldandrewuk#ukedchat I think teachers should be spontaneous intheir use of questioning, adapting to class, topic andstudent.

    20:31:58 ethinking#ukedchat @ks2teacher here's a hoop. How would youlike to jump through it kids

    20:32:01 MattSmith565Pose a question, allow thinking time, requestion ifneeded then bounce the q to another pupil e.g do you

    agree with ______? #ukedchat

    20:32:06 jogyouonRT @davidhunter: #ukedchat make all learnersaccountable by not allowing hands up, giving time tothink, then take turns to discuss.then choose randomly.

    20:32:07 ethinkingRT @CalvinKipling: #ukedchat Pupils need to learnthat some questions have complex or no answers andthat the answer is not "at the back of the book"
