Finger Countdown Technique
Adam Poses the Question. . . .
October 21, 2007
To get my classes' attention and keep them from talking has been a problem, so I have resorted to holding up three fingers and then counting down. After all of my fingers are down, the class will be quiet, or those still talking will receive a lunch detention. This has been extremely successful for me, and my question is what are some of things that you all have done to refocus the attention of your students? They can be something effective or ineffective.
