It's been the biggest success I think I've had in my entire teaching career. My peak. <br /><br />Burndog -- You're definitely going to have to share the "Bell Master" system with me at some point. I'm currently having a struggle with how out of control excited the boys get when we're playing a game, and even though they're trying their best, honestly, it can take way to long to get them to settle down after a particularly shocking occurrence, like one team's points getting completely wiped out. They just lose the plot and can't hear me calling them to attention at all....I'm no Picassohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06516337555349888808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21444271.post-55545067843314202802010-09-13T16:59:32.583+09:002010-09-13T16:59:32.583+09:00what a super idea! *eyes patent* I don't have ...what a super idea! *eyes patent* I don't have any students, but when I do I will be sure to remember that!saharialhttp://saharial.tumblr.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21444271.post-26072864337796072412010-09-13T08:39:18.110+09:002010-09-13T08:39:18.110+09:00I use the "Bell Master" system...which I...I use the "Bell Master" system...which I will have to explain some time...it's incredibly effective...to the point where it's 90% of what I hear about from the new teacher types after I give them their Orientation speech.

Apparently, the patent is valid when working within a structured and proper lesson plan - if you're like the 98% that don't use one, it's still in the public domain.<br /><br />Seriously, though, great idea. I'll be sure to try that the next time I work with kids.Chris in South Koreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07114300133329984235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21444271.post-31659633166817396132010-09-12T22:07:51.856+09:002010-09-12T22:07:51.856+09:00Manic: I'm afraid not.

She already patented it (see filing #7472428, "A novel sociological method of primate control with apparatus").<br /><br />If you're lucky, it'll be picked up by the IEEE and standardized, which would imply it being licensed out under RAND royalty terms. Might still be too expensive for you, though.gwernhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18349479103216755952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21444271.post-42461180203202781112010-09-12T16:47:20.138+09:002010-09-12T16:47:20.138+09:00This is awesome.
