2022-09-01: Role of Teachers, Training Videos, SMM Migration

Agenda

USE OF TELEGRAM FOR COMMUNICATION.

Telegram is more secure than Whatsapp. Nik has joined. Sim to change the name of TWB meditation page to TWB Group (DONE). Add Mark and Nik as administrators (DONE).

MIGRATION OF ACCOUNTS AND SOCIAL MEDIA MARKETING (SMM).

Mark has made a great deal of progress on this but there is still more to be done. Mark will continue with this until complete.

FEEDBACK ON TEACHERS VIDEOS

Team decided that the live style videos are a great way to present and understand aspects of TWB and prove to be a very useful resource for teachers. Video links from mobile devices are not accessible and this is due to a Plugin issue which probably won’t be resolved in the short term.

TSO HOST PAYMENTS

We were close to missing a payment which would have resulted in closure of the Website. Nik will look into changing the payment frequency so that it is less often (1x 6 months or p.a.)

WHAT IS THE ROLE OF THE TEACHER

A good discussion was had as to the role a TWB Teacher should play. Rachael relayed her experience as a classroom teacher where teachers act as facilitators to a child’s learning journey. Paula raised the point of whether Teachers are more mentors where there is a two-way relationship where the mentee is expected to drive the conversation and meeting frequency. Teachers could also be seen as conduits. Either way, to determine whether someone is teachable, they need to have respect for the teacher, display or have intentions to display the 6-virtues. We discussed setting up a voluntary Buddy System for TWB members where members would pair up and provide support to one another. Buddy pairs could be for a finite period of time. Team agreed that this was a good idea. Mark to write a post on this on TWB Website.
