Often, they barely have enough time to even do that before they're told to switch (have the other kid talk.)<br><br>I think you're not really doing WBT, which is very good news.FedUpMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00951858601020687242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4062035173569267420.post-86257235222457454532012-01-25T17:05:54.400-06:002012-01-25T17:05:54.400-06:00"This is an excellent oppurtunity to monitor ..."This is an excellent oppurtunity to monitor student comprehension?" I don't think so. All the students are doing is repeating what you just said. That doesn't mean they comprehend it.FedUpMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00951858601020687242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4062035173569267420.post-57501948025566916382012-01-23T02:35:30.329-06:002012-01-23T02:35:30.329-06:00Help please, You write, "Studies have shown...Help please, <br> You write, "Studies have shown that when the primary cortices of the brain are engaged simultaneously, information is more easily stored in long-term memory."<br> I searched unsuccessfully to find any studies supporting this.

I look forward to your thoughts as we go through more strategies. <br><br>Angel, WBT is a lot of fun! I only used a few strategies during my student teaching placement as there are SO many aspects of WBT that you can include. One of my reasons for starting this blog was so that I could try to learn as much as possible before getting my own classroom so we are in the same boat!Miss Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16942930206275684025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4062035173569267420.post-60952107157811210812012-01-20T19:33:59.698-06:002012-01-20T19:33:59.698-06:00This seems like a great idea!

I don't think I know enough about it yet to try it in STUDENT teaching, but maybe by the time I get my own classroom I can start using it!Angel Readhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04409220869471005923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4062035173569267420.post-73670977229326523992012-01-20T14:32:25.406-06:002012-01-20T14:32:25.406-06:00Love learning along with you!

I am a learning assistant teacher in Delta BC doing my masters in technology, with a focus on UDL and building community in classrooms and schools. <br>I will check out Jeff Battle's WBT website. You should check our Dr.Judy Willis, neurologist and teacher, who has created webinars based on brain research, how to make learning stick, building memory and many other topics. She also has a website with information and resources.http://www.radteach.com/jkwasnickihttp://jkwasnicki.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.com
