I am a teacher and normally I am the one in front of and explaining things or better show the students how they can learn and improve their skills.

Now I am a student and I notice that sometimes it is not so clear as it seems to be for the teacher and I need time to go back and read it again. That is all right as long as you know it is normal, it happened to everybody - I am not stupid because I do not understand it suddenly.

Another important fact is, that learning by doing is much better than just reading. That is very essential, though. I tried to teach after the following rules:

Eyes, ears and hands! All of them have to be involved in something new.

I let the students read something, than I explained it to them (or let them explain to each other) and finally let them work with "the hands"! And only after this process the student will know it for the next month or even longer.

That is perfectly constructed in this tutorial. I feel how I improve and I have really fun!

In German we say: "What I hear I forget, what I see I can remember, what I've done I won't forget"

So let's go on! Let's do things! Let's create pages, stories & knowledge

Mahalo for reading!
