Lesson 6 WBT Teach Okay

I have been starting to use teach okay in my classroom.  I like the fact that students are learning to teach each other and to hold discussion about the micro-lecture I just gave on any academic topic.  It is going slow though and I feel that they are very uncomfortable talking in front of each other.  But I am keeping on plugging away with my self-contained group.  My resource group has been more able to use this method because they are used to a larger class setting where they have had to converse with a variety of students and ideas.  I will try this method this week mixing up the resource and self-contained students and maybe that will spur my students on to success.
