I have worked hard in the past few days reading and learning more about WBT. I now have 145 points and have made WBT Novice status. I learned that even though there are a lot of ideas out there for "Class ~ Yes" that the WBT teaching team really only wants you to use variations on that theme of class yes. In my classroom the past few years I have been using other variations such as "Peanut Butter ~ Jelly" or "Chicka Chicka ~ Boom Boom". Unfortunately I did not know that the team did not like this approach so I only earned 15 points... We live and learn:)
When I start at the beginning of the year I am also going to have to make a "cheat sheet" so I remember to use all of these great ideas meshed within my lessons. There will be a learning curve to it all and will take some retraining on my part but I can see that it will be well worth it!
Off to read some more!
