Notes on a Thursday

I had a couple of really interesting experiences happen today. At the end of the work in progress meeting, I said that I had a few info sessions ready to run. The response was "do you just have the handouts". I think this was for a number of reasons a software demo/monkey see monkey do would take to much time out of day and it would take away from their project time. The students are close to finishing and are starting to switch into a mode of more "workplace learning" and just in time learning. But some of the students that needed these sessions are the students that normally learn by doing and exploration not by software demo's. What was also interesting about this was that I also spent quite a bit of time coaching on topics and techniques that I have already done software sessions on, I think one of those students did miss the demo session. But then I know the other student was at the session. Maybe I've finally got them to the point I want them to be at ? They are all running late with there projects but there is quite a bit of energy in the studios. Posted by robin at October 15, 2004 01:27 PM
