Your disagreement is not very convincing IMHO. How do you know other teachers didn't use whiteboard? Maybe your professors are articulate, experienced instructors.
Also, your teachers probably teach the same course over and over. They don't do spontaneous, once-in-a-life-time lecture to you. They know what they have to teach today and tomorrow. They know exactly what proof to use. Unlike university lecture, the discussion forum at LHC in the article are probably one-time open brownbag. They raise an interesting question, they talk and they leave the room.
- keithpeter 13y ago"They don't do spontaneous, once-in-a-life-time lecture to you." True, but you do vary presentation to allow for audience. I use 'room temperature' questions early on; rows of confused faces and I go into the slow siding; rapid fire answers and extensions and I shift into the express route. Mixed reactions and I have been known to split the whiteboard down the middle. So less a linear video tape and more a series of responses deployed depending on feedback from the class I am teaching below University level though, and smaller classes (15 to 25 people).
- yeukhon 13y agoTrue, completely agree. But that's a skill :) you could have a teacher writing on the whiteboard for 45 minutes and zero interaction. A similar analogy would be kids abuse the right to start out an introduction paragraph with a quote or a question.
