teaching HTML

Just a quick update before I go to bed. Today I gave a lecture on HTML (aka how to write websites). For better or for worse, I decided to do the lecture in the computer lab, so that the students would get a chance to try out HTML first-hand and create their own websites. This went well, with the caveat that once the kids get their first chance to touch a computer, getting them to listen to more lecture is a challenge. I do have some secrets in my back pocket for keeping their attention though :) It's really fun getting better at teaching this age group - it's very different from college students, but in a good way.

Went to the climbing gym again tonight. Hopefully when I get home I will still be in reasonable shape for yosemite :) good night!
