What questions do we ask? How do we ask?

We were asked this question for blog # 4, what do we need to know about asking questions to be an effective teacher? The answer that jumps in my head right away is do the questions make sense? But after reading the material that was provided for this blog post I had a different answer. There were a lot of answers to this question. After watching the video "Questioning Styles and Techniques", I noticed that the way to being an effective teacher is have students participate in the assignment. Which could consist of talking out loud in front of the whole class or to their partners about what they put as their answer to the question that has been asked.I also looked at the article called "Three Ways to Ask

Better Questions in the Classroom" and the three ways they described to be ask better questions were: 1)Prepare Questions - Which is making sure they make sense and also making sure there are answers to those questions being asked. 2)Play with Questions -This means ask a question to the students and teach different ways of answering the question. It keeps the students minds thinking about the question and not let their minds wonder off. 3)Preserve good questions -If a students ask a teacher a good question then the teacher can use that question again in future classes.
