  Case: Student yelling out all of the answers
If you are in front of the entire class trying to correct a pretest so that everyone knows what to do for the test, what do you do if you have one student who is just yelling out all of the answers, sometimes before you even ask the question and the rest of the class is sitting there bored out of their minds. You don't want to ask the student not to answer because he is the type of student who if you did that he would probably find some other way to be disruptive and then he wouldn't be paying attention at all. Plus, chances are that if he were not yelling out the answers, no one else would have.
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would never want to discourage a student from participating in my classroom. So I would put students in groups with each student having a job. Preferably 3 in a group, one who will vocalize the answer, all three who will search for the answer, one who will look in the book, one will look on the computer (if possible) but all three must agree. Hopefully by giving that student to specifically to call out the answer he will still be involved but in an appropriate manner.

Comments: I agree with this solution. By grouping the students and providing them with an active part in the assignment, this may satisfy the attention craved by the student who is always calling out.

Comments: If this student knows the answer before the question is even asked putting him in a group won't change his calling out.
