Keeping focused during questioning sessions

Hi Mark- One of the faculty taking my class recently memtioned using a side of the whiteboard to "park' those "off-topic" questions to hopefully address at the end of the class or at the start of the next class. I think that this is a great idea! Best wishes - Susan
