    I use this in my classroom, and it is drawn on a giant hand, with the three
    fingers up (like making the #3 with fingers) It works great in grades
    2-6........k's and 7th, 8th, are so desperate for attention, that they
    ingore it.

    When I first saw this I thought - neat idea. But I think you have to keep
    in
    mind who will it apply to. For example my LD students who have trouble
    processing information might need a bit more help. So I need to assist
    them
    instead of them trying to figure out what to do and feeling embarrassed by
    not
    understanding information. I like to think that I usually head off that
    problem
    by giving info clearly in the first place. But being one of those who was
    probably one of those space cadet students, I write info on the board, say
    it
    and demo it( like many of you do) in hopes of hitting everyones learning
    style..

    I do find that peer teaching has been very helpful for me and the students.
    When I can't get over to help someone there is always a student who loves to
    play teacher. In fact the best way to learn is to teach it to someone. I
    enjoy
    listening to a student as she gives instructions to another student. It is
    good
    way for me to check up on how I gave the instructions in the first place.
    Heck , if the student ends up getting all frustrated over not understanding
    information, I could end up one of those witches with a B!
