The Qball is a throwable, wireless microphone for classrooms that looks like a ball students would toss on the playground. The main benefit of the Qball is it helps encourage student participation in classroom discussions. The Qball adds a kinesthetic touch to classroom conversations, Socratic discussions, and moments when a whole or small group of students come together to talk about their learning.
The Qball will provide an exciting and interactive component to every lesson.
鈥淨ball is a safe, hands-on way to give every student a voice. The quiet talkers can comfortably speak up, and the talkative students know to yield the floor to the person who holds the ball.鈥
