HI Gary, I saw that you signed up for your assessment article in the wrong area. I have already signed up for the one you chose. To see which ones have already been signed up for you have to go to the discussion page. Just wanted you to know so you didn't miss out on the one you wanted.

'''Hi Gary! I just saw you message! Were you able to figure out the Peer Review?''' Jkauf007 (talk) 20:16, 18 February 2009 (UTC)

Hi Gary, it was nice talking to you in class friday night. I really like your philosophy on teaching kids with making them the center with everything you do in the class room. I agree with you on the philosophy because many teachers loose the passion they once had when they first started. This should not be but its whatever. I hope that you are very successful in everything you do. Be blessedEharr022 (talk) 21:05, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

Hi Gary, I am impressed with your credentials. It seems that your exposures and trainings help you to be the best teacher that you can be. I truly agree that the students should be the center of educative process. We as professionals should equip ourselves with teaching strategies and techniques to help students be successful by attending staff developments, workshops and trainings.Keep it up!!!Hmaristela (talk) 14:52, 31 January 2009 (UTC)

Hey, I saw this comment on your userpage and figured I would help you out by putting it in the right pace for you. I think that it is very interesting that you grew up in the Philippines. I lived in Belgium for four years and thought that it was an amazing experience, although that is clearly not the same thing as being born and raised in another country. How has teaching in Virginia been for you? Csymp002 (talk) 02:36, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

Hello Gary! My name is Tyler you commented on my page so I thought I would take a look at your page and thoughts and return the favor. I am very impressed with you credentials as well, very cool. I find myself jealous and wish I had as much experience as you do in those fields. I agree that a child centered teaching focus is the way to go. But I am not to familiar with that style. It seems to me that this method would get overwhelming and time consuming. Would a teacher have enough time to tend to every child's needs? Tjohn100 (talk) 20:32, 31 January 2009 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikibooks, Teachtheworld!

To mike.lifeguard, please accept my sincerest apology for all the mistakes I made signing my username anywhere...Teachtheworld (talk) 18:47, 19 January 2009 (UTC)

It was a mistake. Can anyone help me how to upload photos? Thanks a lot.Teachtheworld (talk) 17:20, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

Test edits?
Please don't plaster your signature all over the place - that's irresponsible. It's supposed to be used to sign edits. Can I help you with something? &mdash; Mike.lifeguard &#124; talk 02:12, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

Signatures
Welcome to Wikibooks,

I reverted some of your contributions that were nothing but your signature added at seemingly random pages. I assumed they were accidents. If so, please be more careful in the future. Hope things go well with your project. Happy editing! --Swift (talk) 02:17, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

Hello Jkauf007, Aren't we supposed to sign up to two articles for the ECI 301 requirements? Thanks a lot for your help. Teachtheworld (talk) 01:50, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

Learnthewiki
Hey Teachtheworld,

I suggest that you browse through the links in the box above to learn how to edit the MediaWiki markup before you do anything. Oh, and the answer to your question about uploading photos is also written above. Let me know if there is anything else (here, not on my user page &mdash; I'll be watching this space). Take care! --Swift (talk) 06:23, 19 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Hello Swift,


 * Thanks a lot for your help. I have a weird question, well, if you click teachtheworld (which is my username) why is it that it will show the information I typed personally like my education timeline? I should not be seeing it, right? I should expect a blank page wherein I can use to type my researh paper/ articles, am I correct? If so, then how can I make it fully blank page so there will be a space for me to type in, and edit at the same time. Please let me know , what's the trick? Again, thank you so very much...Teachtheworld (talk) 18:45, 19 January 2009 (UTC)


 * I took the liberty of reformatting your last reply for clarity.
 * The user-name link takes you to your user-page. This is your face to the community where you can introduce yourself and your work on Wikibooks. I'm not sure where you got the impression that it would produce a blank page. If you read that here somewhere, please let me know where and I'll fix that.
 * To start a new page, see Help:Starting a new page or book for an in-depth introduction.
 * Regarding your "research paper/articles" I should point out that Wikibooks is not for "primary research in any field". See WB:NOR for details.
 * Finally, just to make life easier for everyone, I urge you to have a look at Help:Talk page. In the last few edits you've made, you seem to have clicked the "edit" link on that section, and started typing. This places your new text in front of the section heading (identified with two equal signs on either side). Rather, you should place your comment following the one you're replying to. Also, add the proper indentation as suggested on the talk page.
 * Hope that helped. --Swift (talk) 23:56, 19 January 2009 (UTC)

Hello Teachtheworld, You have signed up for two articles in chapter 5. Please remove one of your sign ups or I will be forced to do so. Please email us once you have completed this. Thanks! Jkauf007 (talk) 16:39, 21 January 2009 (UTC)

 * You are welcome. If you need any help in the future don't hesitate to ask. Note: When you are leaving a message for someone, do so on there (talk)page, for future reference. I moved it for you. --Xxagile (talk) 02:49, 26 January 2009 (UTC)
 * I am sorry to say that I don't know about adding videos or audio to a page but you should ask an Administrator Here.. They should be able to provide you with an answer to your question. You should also take a look at New Comers, it helped me when I first got started. --Xxagile (talk) 03:06, 26 January 2009 (UTC)

Check Up
Hey Gary, I just wanted to check up on you to make sure everything was going ok. I've read all the discussions you've got going on and am really glad you're working so hard on the wiki. This is a cool tool, and I hope that you will continue to enjoy the process. In addition to the highly qualified administrators here in Wikibooks, you can always email Jamie and Maria at the eci301online@odu.edu email address to help you figure this stuff out. Likewise, I'm always around and am more than happy to help you--especially with the audio/video stuff. Hope you have a great day!

Hey Gary, I am currently an ESL Teacher Assistant with Newport News Public Schools. I think it is so cool how you have been to so many places/countries. I would love to pick your brain about the Philipines (I hope I spelt that right, if not I am sorry). I have two children from there and the boy is just not interested in school and we have a strong feeling he is in a gang and he is so disrespectful and his sister really tries in school but I feel she is not getting support at home. I read you have a lot of knowledge in ESL and since you are from the Philipines I was hoping I could ask you some questions about what kind of values and background and enviroment my kids are comeing from. Is female education valued, is male education valued? Are there a lot of gangs in the Philipines that my boy could have been exposed to? Ect. Really whatever information you could give me would be helpful. I so want to help these children out as best as I can I want them to suceed. Anyways hope you have a great night.

Help
Do you still need help with your peer review? --Xxagile (talk) 04:29, 14 February 2009 (UTC) All of the information that you need for the peer review is listed on the peer review page but here is a general overview.

DIRECTIONS: o go back to the module page for the article o select "edit this page" o highlight all the text, hit control "c" (or "copy" from the edit menu) o navigate back to your peer review page o click edit this page and paste the text into this window (use control "v" or paste from the edit menu)
 * First you need to do a Grammar and Mechanics review of the work that you are reviewing.
 * Place any sections that you feel need to be revised in the area specified on the peer review page.
 * To do this:
 * Type your comments in ALL CAPITALS or in another color so the author can easily find them.
 * Next you need to do a Source check.
 * For each source listed in the "References" section of the article, name the type of source (scholarly or popular) and the perspective it provides (research, expert opinion from educator, popular news source, parent organization, personal contact, etc.)
 * You need to have comments and/or suggestions on the content of the article that you read. And you need to grade the author on the rubric that is listed on the peer review page.

If you still have trouble understanding what you need to do feel free to contact me and specify what you are confused about. You also might want to look at some of your classmates reviews to help you get better understanding of what you need to do. Hope this helps and good luck with your class. --Xxagile (talk) 02:01, 15 February 2009 (UTC)
