Gearing up for day two of the course. Funny thing, it gets real easy for me now. Most of the talking is done. From here out, they mostly work labs. The are designed to be challenging, so there will be a lot of interaction, but the solid multi-hour blocks of me with Powerpoint are over.
Writing these labs and creating the special version of our product with just enough problems to make this challenging for them was laborious and like pulling teeth. Conducting the lab by comparison should be a cake walk.
And that’s exactly how teaching works: 5-10x prep time for a good lesson, and then hoping you can use that lesson several times to amortize the work investment. I just wish teachers got paid for the prep time, not just the classroom time.
