I believe pedagogy is important and that too many people ignore it. Especially teachers. Knowing how to teach is just as important as knowing your subject.<\/p>\n
I have been lucky, because I took mathematics when I got my teaching certification, and the emphasis was on pedagogy. I have even been lucky enough to even take a computer science course that focused on pedagogy.<\/p>\n
I also have a master\u2019s degree in Computer Education and Cognitive Studies. My hobby even involves learning how to teach and train, so that is where I am coming from.<\/p>\n
That being said:<\/p>\n
I am SO tired of being in workshops where we model bad teaching practices. 45 PowerPoint Slides, completely filled with information and talking for an hour is NOT the way to teach. Talking as fast as you can because you are trying to get too much information in, is not the way to teach.<\/p>\n
Plan better, make your talk interactive, and lead people to your information is the best way to teach. Give people time to reflect and think. Never talk more than 5 minutes at a time, allow people to interact, and allow people to reflect. That\u2019s the best way for people to learn. If you have good stuff, people will go out and work with it when they get home.<\/p>\n
If you are on your feet and talking over 20% of the time, you have failed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
