TechnoTeaching


I'm back from a week at a show at the NEC and catching up with what's been happening. Whilst there, I watched a couple of video podcasts on my ipod. One was an edition of Bonnie Mccaffrey's Quilting Show, featuring Ricky Tims, a well known, American quilter and teacher.


He spoke about his "Tech Teaching" seminars, which make use of similar kit to ours and which allow students to access a richer learning experience as a result of his use of multimedia presentations.


I've posted a link to these free videocasts before, but it could be that some of our newer bloggers could find them interesting too. You don't need an ipod but can watch online on your computer. Of course, if you have a video ipod, you can download them to watch whenever you like. Even at 4am, in bed in a galestruck farm cottage on the outskirts of the NEC! Oh, and don't be put off by the quilting subject content, will you?

A very useful link, thanks Gill. I now watch these video clips with a more critical eye since we've now got the kit to make some ourselves. I hope you had a good time at the NEC!
