Wikigogy is C L O S E D

Wikigogy saw little action. So I closed it. It had been an interesting two years with some spurts of generous content writing from a handful of people. However, most months had seen no activity except spam bot fighting. Wikigogy -- Closed as of August, 2008 -- was a networking Web site for teachers of English as a second or foreign language.

Site may be removed soon. For now to fight spam efficiently Wikigogy will periodically be reverted to its August, 2008 state.

Comments about the site closure are welcome on the Main page.

A simple way to review numbers and start thinking in English. It works well at the beginning of class, even while students are entering the classroom.

[edit] Procedure

Round 1

Ask students to count out. Each student says one number aloud, the next student continuing: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5... and so on. Arrange students on-the-fly in a line/circle, or in a way so that each student knows who to follow.
Encourage students to count as fast as they can (because in real life comprehension of numbers needs to be fairly immediate).
