In 1968, Dr. Spencer Silver<\/a> invented sticky notes by accident. Although he wanted to create a super strong adhesive, he ended up creating an adhesive that wasn\u2019t as strong but could be repositioned to other locations. His mistake has turned out to be a huge benefit to teachers. There are so many great uses for sticky notes in the classroom. Some ways to use sticky notes include to:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Check for understanding.<\/a> Have students answer a question, provide an example, or complete another quick assignment to help you check for understanding of a new concept. You could do this through an exit slip as they walk out of the door.<\/li>\n
  2. Offer praise<\/a> and encouragement to students.<\/li>\n
  3. Have students set personal goals or make your own<\/a>. Hang them somewhere in the classroom where they can serve as a reminder on a regular basis.<\/li>\n
  4. Organize your lesson plan book. Use sticky notes to add ideas and notes that wouldn\u2019t fit in your lesson book otherwise.<\/li>\n
  5. Take notes in books to refer to later during class discussions.<\/li>\n
  6. Brainstorm or storyboard for an essay, using the sticky notes to organize and move ideas around.<\/li>\n
  7. Have students leave notes during peer revision<\/a> to tell other students what they did well and what they can improve on for their essays.<\/li>\n
  8. Label items in the classroom. This is especially helpful if you teach a foreign language. Label the items in the foreign language, so students can practice how to say the word.<\/li>\n
  9. Allow students to write questions that they have about something their learning in class.<\/li>\n
  10. Send notes home to parents<\/a>. Attach a sticky note to draw attention to something important, and let parents know what they should do with the document.<\/li>\n
  11. Remind yourself of something that you need to do. Leave the sticky note somewhere that you\u2019ll see it.<\/li>\n
  12. Bookmark the part of the book that you\u2019re reading to the class.<\/li>\n
  13. Label things in the classroom for a substitute. Help him or her find everything around the room they need to complete your lesson plans.<\/li>\n
  14. Play games that go along with lesson concepts. For example, if you\u2019re teaching students how to count, you could write 1-20 on 20 different sticky notes and have students put them in order.<\/li>\n
  15. Take a classroom poll. Ask the class a question and write possible responses on the board. Then, have students write their name and stick it under the response that they agree with the most.<\/li>\n
  16. Have students put together a timeline of events or the plot points of a story.<\/li>\n
  17. Make a seating chart<\/a>. Then, you can move students around, as needed.<\/li>\n
  18. Observe students in class. Add the observations to their portfolio for little anecdotes about their classroom behavior and successes.<\/li>\n
  19. Conceal information on the board during a lesson. Have students guess what\u2019s under the sticky note.<\/li>\n
  20. Create a classroom graph. For example, you could have students put a sticky note under their birthday month, favorite ice cream flavor, or favorite school subject. Then, use the responses to make and discuss graphs.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
