Chalk Talk is a silent way for having students generate ideas, develop projects, check on learning, solve problems, or even reflect. Because it is done in complete silence, Chalk Talk allows students to interact visibly and directly with ideas and silently with each other. The strategy encourages thoughtful contemplation, generates questions and ideas. Chalk Talk can be a simplified silent reflection, or a spirited, although silent, exchange of ideas. Students can be invited to problem solve, share collective knowledge about a given topic, plan projects, or give insight without verbal sparring.

Chalk Talk can be used in a dynamic learning environment to:


 * Generate ideas
 * Develop projects
 * Check on learning
 * Solve problems
 * Reflect

Chalk Talk can also be used as a documentation tool to capturing the collective knowledge of the group. Chalk Talk can be extended for various purposes. For example, participants can use the results of the Chalk Talk to help categorize ideas, prioritize tasks, and allocate responsibilities.
