But lets’ be careful here not to intimidate learner-teachers by putting them off teaching fluidly and naturally, by filling their minds with hundreds of bad practices to avoid and best practices to remember.
The best way to be a good teacher is to Enjoy Teaching, and we’re in danger of diluting that if we over play these things… J.

Live coding mistakes like: 1. alt-tabbing too much 2. Typing too fast 3. "I'm going to cheat a little here and [uses vim in visual block mode]", but you can just use nano to do the same :-) On Wed, Apr 20, 2016 at 10:52 AM, Greg Wilson <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: Hi, We ask instructor trainees to create and critique short videos of themselves teaching (both stand-up and live coding). To prepare them for this, I would like to record a 90-second video of myself teaching; to ensure it's useful, I'd like to give viewers stuff to critique. So: what mistakes would you like the video to include in both content and presentation? Things I've already thought of are: * too much jargon * ideas presented out of order * lots of 'um' and 'er' (or using the word 'like' in every third breath, which is almost as bad as someone cracking their knuckles behind you during a thermodynamics exam when you're stuck on question 3, which has nothing at all to do with the course material) Please let me know what else you'd like to see by adding comments to https://github.com/swcarpentry/website/issues/343 (rather than replying directly to this list). I can't possibly live up to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FQjgsQ5G8ug&feature=youtu.be&t=35, but I'll give it my best shot...
