Something I have started using to get the students quiet is turning off the lights like Dr. Burns does to get our attention. It has worked really good. Now I do not have to raise my voice to get their attention.
I too thought it was a really effective technique that Dr. Burns taught us. I am glad you have implemented it into your classroom and it is working well for you. I actually forgot about that technique until you just brought it up! Thanks for the reminder!
I have not used this technique, but I am going to try it. I find that if I keep a few lights off the students pay more attention and they are more quiet.
This is my first day in class and I think "flipping" the lights on and off is a great way to quiet the class. I will for sure use this going forward. It is always great learning from others!
Great job Kenny. I hate yelling over students and I don't like to hear teachers doing it either. This is so much more professional and a great signal that something is about to happen. Wade has a great idea to use it for clean-up time. Dr. J.
