nigel_nb_oh, BTW, do we have a "How to lead IRC classroom sessions"?17:14
pleia2nigel_nb_: only https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Classroom/Guidelines17:15
nigel_nb_we could do with a class for that one day17:15
nigel_nb_probably on our moodle17:15
nigel_nb_part of the "how to teach Ubuntu"?17:16
pleia2yeah, something should be written for that17:16
pleia2probably not for a User Day though :)17:16
nigel_nb_i mean, I'd like to lead, but I have no clue how, so this time I'm listening and helping with everything else17:17
pleia2nigel_nb_: did you attend any of the open week sessions?17:18
pleia2this is pretty much the same thing17:18
nigel_nb_it was at a bad time17:18
nigel_nb_I only read the logs17:18
pleia2the logs give you a pretty good idea as to how it's done17:18
pleia2you get an instructor, they blabber on about the topic for a while, take questions17:18
nigel_nb_you keep the typed stuff ready?17:19
pleia2some do17:19
pleia2I did, wrote up everything beforehand and pasted it into channel during the session, one line at a time17:19
nigel_nb_beats typing17:19
pleia2but some people just do it on the fly17:19
FFEMTcJthat was quick17:20
nigel_nb_I'll just wait till end of dec and take any timeslot which needs filling with a topic that needs teaching17:20

pleia2Pendulum: that'd be great!17:41

nigel_nb_w00t FFEMTcJ17:52
