Hi Guys. I'm new here. I'm trying to send the link to my fellow teachers but link can't be sent. I wonder why? . Please help!

Which link are you trying to send? Are you sending via email or a "share" button? If you are trying to share via email, you may need to have your email open and manually copy and paste into the compose window.

Try right clicking on the thing you want to send, select copy link location, then go to the compose window and hold down ctrl+v

i was clicking the "email" on the homepage and a new window appears, i was typing in the email address of my friends but it can't be sent. this is in compliance to the Fair Agreement so i can download the e-books..

Okay, try this: Download the e-book, then attach it to an email to the people you want to send it to with Biff on the CC.

Thank you mrsgettys. How's your experience of WBT so far?

AMAZING!!!

If you can attend a conference or webinar, I highly suggest it! It really got me through my second year, and has calmed my nerves about switching to a new grade where I will be teaching all subjects instead of only one.

I love how it melts into what you already do instead of forcing you into something you don't or can't keep up with. You can use parts or wholes and it works either way!

i wonder if this is effective in teaching ESL students. I teach Language and Reading to ESL students with at least 35 pupils in every class

YES Absolutely! I actually began teaching with a method called total physical response, which was an kinesthetic method for teaching a second-language, when i discovered WBT I fell in love because I already had the "gestures" part down, but the mirror, teach-okay, and everything else fell into place so wonderfully.

Learning a second language is hard when it's just rote memorization, so activating the students by using their bodies and by having them talk to each other about it is great practice of the language.

Also, when you get more in depth with the WBT techniques and methods, there are lots of sentence frames, etc.

Check out the Whole Brain Writing Game. It's seriously amazing... it will blow your mind... it scaffolds for the students in just teaching them how to write basic sentences to more complex, then to paragraphs etc.

great inputs! do you have FB account? i would love to have you in facebook. i am interested with the writing game. reading the ebook is good but having someone to ask with will definitely of help. may i invite you on fb. please tell me your profile name so i could invite you!

I sent you a message :)I love networking!

WBT is EXTREMELY effective in teaching ESL students.

Using the teach-ok, they have many more opportunities to practice speaking English than in the average classroom. Working with a partner also creates a "safe" environment where they don't have to be embarrassed about making a mistake in front of the class.

Beyond that, the repetition is essential for language acquisition and the gestures help to cement concepts!
