Capping the TO on purpose.<\/p>\n

I’m at North West Missouri State University in Liberty, MO (I think, the university itself is in Marysville but the workshop is in Liberty and I flew into Kansas City).<\/p>\n

Media Computation by Mark Gurdail. Now he teaches the way I want to learn.  Still a lot of talking BUT most people need a lot of the background.  I’ve done both pictures and sound for a long time, and am comfortable with them, but I recognize that not all CS people are.  Comes from ham radio and some other of my hobbies, plus a couple of years of teaching engineering.<\/p>\n

I’ve also done some media computation his way.<\/p>\n

Here’s what I like — lots of hands on examples, just you can type and try as he’s talking.  And stuff you can tweak.  Plus he doesn’t mind that.<\/p>\n

I’ve been doing that a lot today.\n<\/p>\n

He also\tdoes some "homework" — we had an hour in class to work each assignment and we’ve had a picture and a sound assignment.<\/p>\n

Now doesn’t get me wrong — the Tapestry workshop is good and I’m still working on digesting that material. It’s just that this style fits me well, and fits most of my students.<\/p>\n

Of course, my teaching philosophy tends to be –> point in the right direction and stay out of the way until they get stuck.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
