  • In Ms. Kriston Patton's Keyboarding class for high school credit, students stay engaged through the use of a Que.  What is a Que?  A Que is dodge ball that has a microphone inside that students pass around as it gives them the voice to ask questions, answer questions, lead, and discuss within the classroom.
