Hi,

Greg’s recent video 'An example of bad teaching’ was part of a bigger plan we 
made to use video demonstrations for the instructor training workshops. My part 
in this was to make a demonstration focussing on good and bad practices for the 
live-coding aspect.

Thus, this week, I made two 2-3 minute videos with contrasting ways of doing a 
live coding session:
one demonstrates as many ways as possible how to not do this
one uses as many good practices as possible
During the instructor-training workshop, participants will be asked (in small 
groups) to discuss the differences and their relevance.

It was really fun to do. I had help from a colleague who has experience making 
videos, and two local *Carpentry folk to act as learners. In all, it took us 
two hours (a dozen shots) to get both videos right.

Here are the videos:

And a blog post with more details:

Enjoy!
