• Teaching Tips (University of Hawaii)

• Tomorrow's Professor Mailing List (Stanford Centre of Teaching and Learning)
• Video: Using Topical Examples to draw students' interest (Chris Eichbaum). Victoria University's primary intention with these videos is to show successful student learning in action, with selected snippets from classroom interactions. These are real and unrehearsed examples of engaged classes, to show how teachers might do things differently, how teachers teach. The idea is that you can watch these brief, but revealing, exchanges, alongside or instead of reading the verbal descriptions - you can pick up so much by noting the attitude/tone of voice/movement.
