After only observing last Saturday, it was a different to be an instructor. I spent most of the day in B203 observing the teaching methods of Pacal. Pacal used his humor to make the kids laugh and stay intrigued. One of the best parts was watching Danny teach his project. From this presentation, I think the kids recieved more confidence that Acid is something achievable to be learned.
When the kids started their challenge projects, I didn't know what to do when the kids didn't ask questions. I felt that I was just standing around. I talked to Rosalyn for a bit about what to do, and she said that this was the slow part of the day. But then, I saw her asking students to show her their projects. So, she would listen to their songs and then offer her advice. By the end of the session, I noticed one of the students not really doing anything. So I sat down and talked to him and helped him figure out what he wanted to do for his project. That was probably the experience I enjoyed most, because I realized that even if the students don't ask for questions, there is always something on their mind.
My biggest question would probably in that situation where the kids don't ask for question, what are some techniques to help kids when they don't ask for help. Also, while Pacal was teaching, one of the students in the back kept going on the internet. I still feel awkward on how to approach them, so what should I do?
