There's a lot of emphasis these days on going high-tech in the classroom but I'm curious about the low-tech options that still produce great results. What "old school" teaching strategies or activities do you employ that still produce great results?

What kinds of activities do you think work best using chart paper?
I especially like using it for gallery walk responses, and "silent conversation" type of activities, but it also makes other things more fun, like the urbanization game, or basic graphic exercises, or even for the contextualization tool.
What are your favorite old-school tools? Erin Cunningham Anne Koschmider
I have a classroom set of small markerboards that come in handy for video notes, brainstorming, and review games.
I've also been trying to incorporate some variety with low-tech review games. One example is Roll and Review, in which students get a set of questions (like this) and roll two dice to determine which to answer. They play in small groups.

Thanks for the roll and review activity! Low-tech and easy to prep but still fun and effective.
