At the beginning of the lesson split the class into teams, for a simple example team A, B, C, D (if they are sitting at tables maybe each table is one team)
Begin the lesson and give the clear instruction that you will count down from 3 and that they should be quiet at the end of the countdown.
You can demonstrate this to make sure it is understood.
If they are sat quietly at the end of the countdown add points to their team score, if they are noisy or any other undesirable behavior take away points from their team score.
At the end of the lesson, make a big deal about congratulating the winning team, you can give a prize if you are feeling generous but usually, just a high five or something is enough.
Eventually, they will get used to the rules of the classroom and understand the benefits of good behaviour.
A new App will be launched this year that could revolutionize the way online teaching works. The App uses a cryptocurrency called EXY that can be cashed in for Dollar or Euro or any conventional currency.
The idea is simple.
The App is a Skype-like application that can be used on your phone or desktop computer. When someone calls you on the App you get paid.
That’s it.
The App called “Experty” aims to revolutionise the way knowledge can be monitised on the internet.
The teacher can set their own minute rate and availability on the App and the payment is transferred instantly, so no waiting for a third party to pay your wage.
Take a look at the short explainer video below.
The Experty App is not a market place, so in other words there is no search engine for users to find you. Instead they have made it easy for you to tell your customers how to connect with you with a simple link or QR code that brings them directly to your Experty Profile which shows the services you offer as well as your consultation rate.
This link can be added to your social media profile or website as a means to contact you.
It’s a new idea that they hope to see mass adoption in the next 3 years.
They are still in the development stages of the App but it is due to launch in May or June.

Being an English Teacher in China starts with doing a TEFL course and teaches you how to teach English.
You can get a TEFL certificate online and you can get a tefl job online.
Starter jobs are usually 40 hours each week but it depends on how many lesson you have.
Usually you will have 1 to 2 days off per week. People in China have a stronger work ethic and work long and intensely each day.
The salary is roughly 10,000 RMB per month for an English training center or School.

Some people want to teach in China but don’t have a degree.
What is happening in China. Is it legal ? How does it work ?
The one question is, what is the quality of the teaching ? Are you a Native speaker ? That’s what Chinese schools want and sometimes teachers arrive with a tourist visa and start working because they are good teachers.
But do schools actually check your degree ? Take a look at this video from “the Truth about teaching English in China”
