Make sure that the type of response is brief and simple, something that students would not hesitate to share. You can also ask students to write an example. Then, choose the right answer and ask the student who wrote it to explain further. Don&#8217;t forget to give input and thank the student for sharing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Pedagogical benefits<\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Forms a gradual dialogue instead of asking a challenging question.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Allows you to lead the conversation and select the answers that students will benefit more.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Use a Padlet wall<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to ask a question that requires students to think more, give students a few minutes and ask them to type their answer on a Padlet wall. You can share a link to the wall via chat, and each student can add their own sticky note with their answer. Both you and the students see each other&#8217;s answers in real-time.

The real-time polling feature helps to create an engaging learning environment. You can use Vevox to show the students a multiple-choice question on the screen. Then, give students a minute to think and choose what they think is the right answer. Students vote easily using their device (phone, tablet or laptop). They can use any web browser or download the Vevox app for Apple and Android.

For instance, start with a yes \/ no question about a subject ( e.g., do you think the business strategy of this company is right?). Then, once you hit your conclusion, build up your next questions based on previous responses ( e.g., What\u2019s the business strategy? What strategy would you choose?
