Good job showing both sides. I really liked the videos. One think I had not thought of before, and noticed as the second video started, is the instructor's standing position. It makes it easier for him not only keeping eye contact with the audience, but also both glanzing over the classroom for learner's reactions, stickers, etc., and getting closer to the screen for explanations of the code.
Not having to stand up and sit all the time in order to "access" the screen is a big plus which will allow you doing it more than not. And in the typical classroom you (at least we) just have a table, not a stand. I guess it's time for some shopping for our next workshop :-) Inigo On Fri, 13 May 2016 18:07:21 +0200 Lex Nederbragt <[email protected]> wrote: > 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.
