Lecture 9: Pedagogical and Anti Patterns 30/04/07

Only two students including myself turned up for this lecture. I think this was due to the fact the dissertation was due at the end of the week.

The lecture started later than planned as we were waiting for other students to turn up. We acted out a writers workshop between the three of us. It was quite difficult to carry it out as it was just the two of us. The writers workshop did not take as long as it should because of the numbers but I could an idea of what is requited from the moderator, the author and attendees of a writers workshop.

During the lecture we also had a brief look at Pedagogical Patterns and AntiPatterns. I found Pedagogical pattern a little harder to wrap my head around. I found it easier to understand when I think about it as a pattern that guides teachers and students. The passing down of wisdom from experienced teachers.
