You also do not have to wait for a student to raise their hand to call on them. Several strategies by others have been mentioned. I used to have my students write their names on one side of an index card and leave the other side blank. Then I would randomly select from the cards to call on students to share out. It also worked for dividing students into groups and randomly calling on a student to share out from a group.
