A couple of years ago I shifted my practice from using mini-whiteboards quite often to using mini-whiteboards every single lesson. to the extent that students find it remarkable when we don't use them. The two things that often get raised to this is "oh my goodness *pens*" 1/5

... and behaviour (with respect to doodling). I found that the doodling aspect of this disappeared because mwbs were not a novelty item, they were the every day item. Pens are a pain in the neck, but I find the use of the whiteboards so integral I just accept it 2/5

I was really influenced by this (now unfortunately disappeared) clip of @danicquinn from TLAC blog, or at least I was kind of doing things this way and this clip cemented my practice because I saw someone else do it similarly https://teachlikeachampion.com/blog/dani-quinn-uses-show-check-understanding/ 3/5

What was so awesome about this clip is the rapidity of the feedback and what was so impressive was the processing by the teacher. I worked hard at that processing to give that rapid feedback, sometimes through gesture, sometimes verbally, sometimes quick and corrective 4/5

That rapidity and volume of tiny feedback-loops took my relationship with groups to a different level, I felt that from the front of the room I was having private conversations with everyone in the room. 5/5
