Podcast notes

Triumphs and failures of day 1

• Mac Power Users episode on emergency preparedness
• Content warnings
• Rick rolls
• You are an idiot

Failures

Treyvon trip up

• Race is on my mind

Forgotten supplies

• Planbook

Triumphs

• Mostly kept pace between three sections of the same class
• Kept my stuff together – cords, etc. Grid it system worked like a champ
• Experience what my teaching is like, versus me talking about it (while still explaining while we go)
• Continually working on just-in-time learning/demonstrations, when possible (tapes, SnagIt)
