Hu...Thanks for the comment, and thats a great clip!<br />Humor, drama, and story telling, they're all part of effective teaching. The key trick is not to let the class fall asleep.<br /><br />all the best<br /><br />LaurenceLarry Cuffehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00369944489322957884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4799743914339293978.post-83378124022619243592010-11-28T09:20:30.904+00:002010-11-28T09:20:30.904+00:00Larry, thank you for commenting on my own recent b...Larry, thank you for commenting on my own recent blog post about stop-animation. http://eduvel.wordpress.com <br /><br />I've read your post, above, with great interest as I truly believe that you cannot separate good teaching/training from humour. I used to teach chefs and without humour, it was difficult to drive home important aspects of the course. I now teach teachers about the use of technology to support learning and find humour still to be the oil that eases the way towards full understanding.<br /><br />An example of humour with chefs was the use of Lenny Henry's clip http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MixYRIUzVXs to open a lesson on customer care and food service.<br /><br />Cheers<br /><br />DavidAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
