about the talk

To a fresh-faced web development student, code looks confusing and scary; a journey into the unknown. Unfortunately, those were my thoughts about having to teach my first class of wide-eyed students just 18 months ago. Over that time I’ve been trying to work out exactly how best to teach technical skills to a diverse crowd of adult learners – which has come with varying degrees of success and failure. In this talk, I’d like to share some of the good times and some of the bad times, and hope to kick-start a conversation about the importance of learning how to teach.
