If you were a teacher, will you encourage your students to join here? email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 83/100. boogerman (842)   ranked 2,170 out of 32,292 in mylot.com4 weeks ago

Just came up to this idea. What if a teacher encourage his/her students to join here to help them improve their writing skills and also for them to earn extra money, aside from that, they can also learn some interesting information. And in return, he/she will also earn because the teacher have his/her students as referrals lol What would be your opinion for this?

i think its possible, as long as they post quality discussions and articles. But i wouldnt encourage them to stay here too much, because mylot is addicting and they may not have enough time to study haha!


myLot reputation of 83/100. boogerman (842)   ranked 2,170 out of 32,292 in mylot.com  4 weeks ago

You have a point there, they might neglect their studies because it is addicting in here. lol Anyway, that would be another challenge to them to balance their studies and working here and they can learn 'time management'. Of course, it must be regulated to avoid distraction to other subjects. For example just set it for them as a homework to participate here so they have time to enjoy here. Or, let them to participate on weekends. What do you think? thumbup


drewojeda (88)  4 weeks ago

Yes, you're right that Mylot is so addicting. You have so much to learn by joining here. If I'm a teacher I would encourage my students to join, I'll just warn them a few things. But overall I think mylot will be beneficial that aside from that you earn some cash you enhance your basic capabilities of writing and communicating. I'm really having fun being here.


myLot reputation of 83/100. boogerman (842)   ranked 2,170 out of 32,292 in mylot.com  4 weeks ago

Hello, drewojeda! You are right, there are lots of benefits here such as learning interesting information and an opportunity to earn extra money here. Yes, they must be warned of a few things here by teaching the guidelines to them so they can avoid violations here. If you teach them how to earn well here such as posting quality content, barging or interacting with others on discussions and other strategies, you also earn more. happy

Lol, that would be brilliant, there would be a bunch of students here and they would have lots to talk about, as they are kids/teens, and they have lots to learn so they will ask lots of questions! A whole new generation of interesting discussions!
And it's good for both teacher and student, so the student can make money and improve writing, while the teacher secretly collects the referral money from them lol. thumbup


myLot reputation of 83/100. boogerman (842)   ranked 2,170 out of 32,292 in mylot.com  4 weeks ago

Yes, kids/teens have lots of things to ask and to talk about. thumbup To have another benefit, which is to earn, it is nice if they join in here to participate in here. And as a referrer, the teacher must introduce the guidelines to them so they can avoid violations that can cause deduction of earnings. It will be good for the teacher and the students because they can earn from posting quality content. Aside from that, they can discuss their lessons in here so other users can also get information. happy

I might. I think the discussions can be very enlightening. You are correct that it could possibly help with writing skills. You can gain a lot of knowledge from reading these discussions as well. I might be worried that some of the discussions might be to adult for my students but I believe there are precautions for things like that on this website.


myLot reputation of 83/100. boogerman (842)   ranked 2,170 out of 32,292 in mylot.com  4 weeks ago

You have a point. But it can be avoided by telling them not to check on the box labeled 'allow mature content'. It blocks users from reading discussions with words that considered as mature content, they can only view those discussions when they allow it on their preferences. But there are times where you need to allow it. Example, when you are discussing about a part of a chicken (bre*st) on cooking, users that block mature content cannot view that discussion. Sorry for late reply, I got disconnected.


myLot reputation of 98/100. amybrezik (1085)   ranked 3,917 out of 32,292 in mylot.com  4 weeks ago

Yes, you can avoid the mature content that's for sure. It is a litte annoying when you are responding to a cooking discussion and you have to use an alternative word for chicken brea*t. But at the same time I am glad to know that there are precautions in place, and I think overall mylot could be a great tool for students.

4. myLot reputation of 82/100. irene66 (270)   ranked 20,870 out of 32,292 in mylot.com   4 weeks ago

I would.
It's a great idea for students for them express their ideas and opinions.
Also a learning experience not only in their writing but in their typing skills too.
However, they should know how to manage their time so that mylot will not interfere with their time schedule in school and their studies.


myLot reputation of 83/100. boogerman (842)   ranked 2,170 out of 32,292 in mylot.com  4 weeks ago

Yes, as I posted on the first response, it could be a challenge for them on how to manage their time properly. It will not cause interference to their studies if they know how to balance their activities. wink

I don't think so, if I'm a teacher, I won't tell my students about this place, I'm worrying that they may addicted to mylot, and spend a lot of time here, because this just happens to meblush, so I don't think it's good for their study, and this place can also earn money, the students will spend a lot of time here to post discussions, and earn money,this is not good for their study.


myLot reputation of 83/100. boogerman (842)   ranked 2,170 out of 32,292 in mylot.com  4 weeks ago

Yes, they might be addicted in here but if they know how to manage their time and to balance the activities, it will not distract their studies. Don't worry, it can be controlled by just making it as an assignment or their homework to participate on discussions here. Or, just set it on weekends where they can spend more time here so they can enjoy, but the students must remember that their priority is to study and being active here is for them to relax. wink

I would not. While I agree that myLot is a valuable experience as far as writing and typing skills are concerned (plus, you get to stay up to date on the news!), it's simply unprofessional for a teacher to do that. You need to maintain the professional teacher:student relationship.


myLot reputation of 83/100. boogerman (842)   ranked 2,170 out of 32,292 in mylot.com  4 weeks ago

You have a point. Teachers are highly respected on class, but outside, they can be friendly to students. And that could be the relationship outside the campus. In order to have fun with them while learning, the students are encouraged to join to participate in here and to earn extra money. Well, I just came up on this idea because in fact, it is hard to get referrals and making them active. Thanks for your response about the topic. happy

7. myLot reputation of 79/100. shajerrl (270)   ranked 2,693 out of 32,292 in mylot.com   4 weeks ago

I also have a similar thought about this just a few days ago...I think if I am a teacher, maybe I can let my students come to here for a test to evaluate their English skills. I will give them 7 days to make their posting number from 0 to 100 and mylot website will give their reputation automatically according to their DRS system, according to their reputation, maybe I can know their english skills for every students...thanks and good day...


myLot reputation of 83/100. boogerman (842)   ranked 2,170 out of 32,292 in mylot.com  4 weeks ago

Nice idea! thumbup It could help teachers to evaluate the skills of his/her students, especially on writing. The reputation depend on performance here so it will be a good idea if it is included on calculation of their grades on english subjects. It will generate more income if they enjoy participating here by posting quality content. wink

I will recommend my students to join here if I am a teacher.They can have exposure to the external world by participating in the discussion.The will be able to understand the world what it is...Also they can earn little at least for their pocket money..But the major issue is they may be diverted into the ptc sites, which will spoil their life without any doubt.We can not control them in this. On seeing the discussions about the ptc sites, they will like to earn without any effort and in turn, then will make their friends to get addicted to the ptc sites, in order to get referrals..Interesting discussion.


myLot reputation of 83/100. boogerman (842)   ranked 2,170 out of 32,292 in mylot.com  4 weeks ago

You are right about the exposure on external world. We can see different opinions and views from different people about some topics. About the issue of being diverted to addiction on PTC sites, it can be avoided. If you are a teacher and encouraged them to join here, you must tell some regulations for your students to follow, if you want them not to be involved on PTC sites, you must tell them to avoid adding interests about making money and recommend only those can help them such as people, question and answer, life and others. You should also teach time management to them so they can balance their studies and participating in here. wink

9. myLot reputation of 99/100. getbrowser (1438)   ranked 2,003 out of 32,292 in mylot.com   4 weeks ago

I think it is possible completely.
You see, here are lots of people whose mother tongue is not English, however, they really love mylot for they can enjoy a friendly surroundings that are helpful to improve their English level. As you have said above, if a teacher encourage his/her students to join here to help them improve their writing skills, these students benefit a lot from myLot. In fact, they can earn some money here while improving their writing skills.
Of course, the teacher should take some measures to protect their students from being addicted to the Internet. Happy myLotting!


myLot reputation of 83/100. boogerman (842)   ranked 2,170 out of 32,292 in mylot.com  4 weeks ago

Yes, well said! Others here don't have english as a main language but they enjoy participating in here to practice their writing skills. To prevent violation that can cause earnings to decrease and addiction here that may interfere to their studies, they must be guided by the teacher about the rules and also on how to manage their time wisely. In that way, they can earn extra money while discussing on some issues and topics, sharing information and to get answers on some questions. happy

10. myLot reputation of 94/100. UltimateAsoka (870)   ranked 4,692 out of 32,292 in mylot.com   4 weeks ago

Well, i do not find any harm in asking the students to join mylot.It would also help them to earn and also improve their vocabulary.Their writing skills and speed would increase.I think it would be an encouragement for the students and they could get more involved with current happenings.I would not be thinking of the monetary benefits,and would be considering whats benficial for them and in this case even if mylot don't pay, they would improve a lot.Thanks!


myLot reputation of 83/100. boogerman (842)   ranked 2,170 out of 32,292 in mylot.com  4 weeks ago

Yes, it can also help to improve their typing speed. There is no harm for them to join but they must be guided on how to use the site properly and about the guidelines so they should know what to do and not to do. On some issues that can be sensitive you can recommend them not to allow mature content. But in overall, it has lots of benefits. wink
