This has to be one of the “wow”  moments in my teaching. It is when you give students the tools to comment, discuss and enriched the classroom encvironment by making short comments while the class is going on.

It gives them a voice, the teacher KNOWS what they are thinking so can guide any misunderstandings. encourages them to stay focussed and they enjoy it..Win on all counts.
