At eFest 2008

Musing ... I attended eFest. I was amused that in the wikieducator workshop Leigh instructed people that went on ahead, not to ask advanced questions because he wanted to keep everyone together ... mmm not sure that matches his 'teaching' philosophy.

You're dead right! Well sort of ;) The workshop was a one off training event. Like watching a movie, going to a dancing class, or learning how to do basic editing of wikieducator. My teaching philosophy is more aimed at the practice of teaching that is extended over long periods of time - say like, 13 years full time. But it was still a funny contradiction at the time :) --Leighblackall 02:16, 15 September 2008 (UTC)
